PART A: QUOTES WITH BOOK PAGE CITATIONS
These quotes include exact page references from “The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence” (2020) – written before ChatGPT launched.
SECTION 1: ON SUPERINTELLIGENCE & WHAT MAKES US HUMAN
“The algorithms of superintelligence will change the world in a positive way, but trouncing human being will not be possible due to emotions, empathy, social interactions, reproduction, and mortality which are the qualities that belong to humans only.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 226
“AI can do just by acquiring certain information, making decisions, and acting, but there is a big difference between AI and humans in terms of ‘what is the basis for that decision.’ That is the idea, the sensibility, the relationship with others, and the physical that supports it. The human thinking circuit (humanity) that incorporates them intricately is probably too resonant for AI to catch up.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 236
“Algorithms can process a million data points, but cannot feel the weight of a moral dilemma. Empathy remains our competitive advantage.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 2: ON AI FREEING HUMAN POTENTIAL
“We believe that the human mind is the most beautiful creation and that doing repetitive daily tasks is probably a waste of our talents. The human brain should focus on things that require more creativity, are more rewarding, and improve our world. So AI can help us achieve this vision by taking away repetitive tasks from us.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 2
“AI does not replace human intelligence. It reveals how much of it we were wasting on tasks beneath our potential.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
“When AI handles the repetitive, humans are freed for the creative. The future is not human versus machine but human multiplied by machine.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 3: ON THE FUTURE OF JOBS & WORK
“All forms of repetitive jobs will disappear due to AI. From chatbots that solve customer service issues, to more complex tasks such as scheduling services… AI simply frees up more time for humans to be creative and innovative.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 213
“Soon we will not need screens anymore – we will talk to Siri or Alexa.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 213
“Just think that children born today will probably never need to get a driver’s license. The labour market will change and shift to the non-digital, and machines today cannot master.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 213
“A significant shift we have in front of us is to move away from using software to working with robots as team members. We talk about everything from being part of a project team to being an operations and maintenance partner. Or, as Alibaba’s founder Jack Ma said, maybe even a future CEO?” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 214
“Will the reality in the future be as in the movies and series we have seen? Will we sit and monitor robots that do our former jobs in a world of citizen pay, hubots and robot taxes? Regardless of how, we expect a world where social systems and infrastructure will fundamentally change.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 214
“Every generation fears the machine that will make them obsolete. Every generation is wrong about which jobs disappear and right that new ones emerge.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
“The question is not whether AI will take your job. The question is whether you will learn to do your job with AI before someone else does.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 4: ON AI’S REVOLUTIONARY IMPACT
“AI will have the same impact on the digital revolution that electricity had for the industrial revolution. As humans, we will move away from many of the administrative tasks that today take up a lot of our time and instead operate in a world where we have a robot that delivers.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 214
“AI will fundamentally revolutionise our world through everything from smarter energy consumption, smarter healthcare, and more extended health to technology that significantly improves living conditions for developing countries.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 214
“The rise of AI can potentially transform our future more than any other technology. This book empowers you to understand what may be the most important conversation of our time.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 3

“The true revolution of AI is not in the laboratory. It is in the hands of ordinary people solving ordinary problems at an extraordinary scale.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 5: ON AGI & THE FUTURE OF INTELLIGENCE
“It has been said that human intelligence, or smarter Artificial Intelligence, is the last invention that humans need to make. Artificial Intelligence is much faster than humans in processing data and never needs a break. So, if Artificial Intelligence is as smart as humans, it can already develop itself better and probably much faster than humans can.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 237
“Personally, I believe we will see the emergence of AGI in the next 50 years, as the hardware has moved up to the level of theory, and more organisations see potential in AI.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 238
“The main problem is that if Artificial Intelligence were to become smarter than humans, we would end up in a situation where people may no longer understand why Artificial Intelligence makes any decisions and what the consequences of those decisions may be for humans… The result is a situation where our ability to predict the future becomes increasingly difficult because the future depends on Artificial Intelligence decisions that we do not understand.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 238
SECTION 6: ON THE BLACK BOX PROBLEM & AI TRANSPARENCY
“Even today, it is virtually impossible for many artificial bits of intelligence to understand exactly why the machine mind behaves exactly as it does. The main reason is that too many variables and information are used to make an AI decision.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 237
“Every algorithm trained on human data inherits human biases. Engineers of AI are not technicians. They are architects of the future.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 7: ON AI & DATA / PRIVACY
“The incoming Internet of Things means that virtually all devices and machines are connected to a single network and can potentially be controlled by Artificial Intelligence in the future. More and more information is also being collected and stored about each person, which is also potentially available to Artificial Intelligence. The result is a situation where Artificial Intelligence can theoretically know everything about us and control every aspect of our lives.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 238
“AI without quality data is like a doctor without patients. The intelligence is only as good as the information it learns from.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 8: ON AI ETHICS & RESPONSIBILITY
“True artificial intelligence is coming sooner or later, so it’s time for the business world to take AI ethics and security issues seriously. It’s no longer the concern of generations far in the future.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 201
“AI possesses neither morality nor malice. It reflects the values we embed and the purposes we assign.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
“AI can tell you what is likely. Only humans can decide what is right. Probability is not morality.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 9: ON RESKILLING & WORKFORCE TRANSFORMATION
“The IT workforce experiences enormous HR challenges as existing jobs disappear, remaining jobs transform, and new jobs emerge… We have to face the facts – our technical and management personnel currently do not have the skills to succeed. You need to re-educate your workforce continually – invest in self-learning.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 215
“McKinsey reports that by 2030, automation could displace between 400 million and 800 million workers. Fortunately, organisations are recognising the importance of reskilling their workforce, retraining employees by teaching them new skills.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 216
“We cannot predict which jobs will exist in twenty years. We can predict which skills will matter: learning, unlearning, and relearning.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
“The half-life of a technical skill is now shorter than a single career. Continuous learning is no longer development. It is survival.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
“In the age of AI, your most dangerous competitor is not the algorithm. It is your former self who stopped learning.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence

“In the future, jobs will require more creativity and sociality. It is essential not to be threatened by AI but how its perspective of utilisation could be turned into cooperation.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 233
“What is clear is that AI is an era of living with AI, not a period of fear. It is important to remember that and improve your skills to survive as a person.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 233
“The organisations that thrive will not be those that fear AI or worship it. They will be those who understood it as a tool and mastered its application.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
SECTION 11: ON AI IN BUSINESS
“If you are a business decision-maker, you will require a basic understanding of AI to apply Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to modernise your business. People in successful companies and management teams still do not fully understand what Artificial Intelligence does and how Artificial Intelligence works.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 6
“Artificial Intelligence can also analyse the level of engagement of individual customers as well as anticipate changes in customer relationships when utilised as a part of a CRM system. Artificial Intelligence can also modify customer paths to ensure the best possible user experience. Wouldn’t it be great to know in advance if your customer is considering switching to a competitor?” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence, Page 194
“AI does not respect industry boundaries. Those who see it as belonging to tech companies will be disrupted by those who see it as belonging everywhere.” — The Ultimate Modern Guide to Artificial Intelligence
