We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.Stephen Hawking
There is no physical law precluding particles from being organised in ways that perform even more advanced computations than the arrangements of particles in human brains.Stephen Hawking
I think the brain is essentially a computer and consciousness is like a computer program. It will cease to run when the computer is turned off. Theoretically, it could be re-created on a neural network, but that would be very difficult, as it would require all one's memories.Stephen Hawking
We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn't want to meet.Stephen Hawking
