Neil Innes Quotes

Robots... I think that is a hot topic.

I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence.

The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it's cool, it's fun, it's healthy, it's sexy, it's stylish. On the other hand it's terrifying, it's alienating, it's addictive, and it's scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature.

There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

I've always been obsessed with technology.

Technology is anything that wasn't around when you were born.

We're having the first computer-generated comic strip in the United States.

Some people think technology has the answers.

With the advent of computing, human invention crossed a threshold into a world different from everything that came before. The computer is the universal machine almost by definition, machine-of-all-trades, capable of accomplishing or simulating just about any task that can be logically defined.

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.

I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.

Right now, I think robots are where it's at. And yes, I'm biased. Robots and space, because with home rocket kits and Lego Mindstorm sets, people can get involved. I was raised on Transformers and GoBots, so I can't imagine what kids who are building real robots are dreaming about.

Technology will save us if it doesn't wipe us out first.

There’s not a single aspect of human life that doesn’t have the potential to be totally transformed by these technologies in the future.

Machine learning is the most popular course for people from India. There is a window of time when India can embrace and capture a large fraction of the AI opportunity. But it will not remain open for ever.

As a geek, I take umbrage at the notion that chips are not sexy. But yes, robots, drones, satellites and self-driving cars are the kinds of things that excite me.

My obsession is with technology and how it can improve human life. In my view, what we have seen in the last 300 years is only a trailer.

AI will impact every industry on Earth, including manufacturing, agriculture, health care, and more.

I see Grand Challenge not as the end of the robotics adventure we're on: it's almost like the beginning.

Technology is power.

Computers add convenience to our everyday lives, but we are limited in what we can do with technology others have imagined. The ability for humans to teach machines entirely new things - coding - is nothing short of a superpower.

The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs.

Technological change is both familiar and easy to observe.
