More quotes by Federico Faggin
The matter is the ink with which the consciousness writes its self-experience.
Not even the most advanced form of artificial intelligence can ever replace man. Because there is something in human beings that is irreducible to machine knowledge: self-awareness, free will, doubt, feelings.
The true reality is the interior one, quantistic, and private. We as conscious entities belong to the part-whole of the One, One is all that exists, [One] is what we call God.
We are spiritual beings, temporarily imprisoned in a physical body that is similar to a machine. But we are much more than a machine. We are consciousness, infinite and irreducible entities.
Humanity is at a crossroads. Either it returns to the belief that it has a different nature than machines or it will be reduced to a machine among machines. The risk is not that artificial intelligence will become better than us, but that we will freely decide to submit to it and its masters.
