Alan Turing Quotes

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.

By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.

Even though chess isn't the toughest thing that computers will tackle for centuries, it stood as a handy symbol for human intelligence. No matter what human-like feat computers perform in the future, the Deep Blue match demands an indelible dot on all timelines of AI progress.

We will not only use the machines for their intelligence, we will also collaborate with them in ways that we cannot even imagine.

The Turing Test was a brilliant idea, but it's evolved into a competition of chatbots.

Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.

We all have friends we love dearly that couldn't pass for human in a strict Turing test.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.

I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.

I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today, we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.

I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.

My background really comes from geekdom and the idea of building a smart machine. If we're going to build a smart machine, let's have it read good books.

When people speak of creating superhumanly intelligent beings, they are usually imagining an AI project.

By 2020, most home computers will have the computing power of a human brain. That doesn't mean that they are brains, but it means that in terms of raw processing, they can process bits as fast as a brain can. So the question is, how far behind that is the development of a machine that's as smart as we are?

What's casual for a robot isn't necessarily what's casual for a human.

Some claim that computers will, by 2050, achieve human capabilities. Of course, in some respects they already have.

We could construct a machine that is more intelligent than we can understand. It's possible Google is that kind of thing already. It scales so fast.

As far as what is the line between human and machine? That's a great question.

If you want a machine to be able to interact with people, it better not do things that are surprising to people.

Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver.

Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, we will have multiplied the intelligence, the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization a billion-fold.

Robots have gotten steadily more capable, but humans' expectations that robots should have minds keeps biting robot developers.
