On AI's Surprisingly Rapid Development
“I'm not surprised that it's everywhere, but I'm surprised by how fast it's happened in the last few years and how slow it was before that."

On Mathematics, Education, Healthcare and AI
“ I think AI is going to be very good at mathematics, but I think in education and healthcare, it's going to be transformative."

On Superintelligence Timeline
"A few years ago I said it was a 50% chance we get to superintelligence within 20 years. So if I was consistent, I'd say there's a 50% chance we get there within 18 years. I think the chance might be higher than that."

On AI Risks
"There's all sorts of short-term risks, and then there's the existential threat of these things are going to get smarter than us, and they may well try and take over."
