In 1965, he originated the concept now known as "intelligence explosion" or the "technological singularity", which anticipates the eventual advent of superhuman intelligence:
"Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever.

There are important people who know what is going on

You should know too.
Eternity is at stake.)
and the intelligence of man would be left far behind... Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make, provided that the machine is docile enough to tell us how tο keep it under control.
(Weve seen it cant be.)
It is curious that this point is made so seldom outside of science fiction. It is sometimes worthwhile to take science fiction seriously."
"He later said about his arrival in Virginia (from Britain) in 1967 to start teaching at VPI, where he taught from 1967 to 1994:
"I arrived in Blacksburg in the seventh hour of the seventh day of the seventh month of the year seven in the seventh decade, and I was put in Apartment 7 of Block 7...
