Garry Kasparov Quotes

Watson augments human decision-making because it isn't governed by human boundaries. It draws together all this information and forms hypotheses, millions of them, and then tests them with all the data it can find. It learns over time what data is reliable, and that's part of its learning process.

Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

Intelligence is playing a more important role in policymaker decisions than I think I've ever seen in my time in Congress or before.

Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.

Knowledge created a new culture of business derived from the information gathering and analysis capabilities of first the mainframe and then the PC.

The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.

I hate the fact that so much of our life is computerised rather than mechanised.

Increasingly, the central question is becoming who will have access to the information these machines must have in storage to guarantee that the right decisions are made.

The basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

No computer is ever going to ask a new, reasonable question. It takes trained people to do that.

Men and machines are good at different things. People form plans and make decisions in complicated situations. We are less good at making sense of enormous amounts of data. Computers are exactly the opposite: they excel at efficient data processing but struggle to make basic judgments that would be simple for any human.

If it were a fact, it wouldn't be called intelligence.

Our robots are signing up for online learning. After decades of attempts to program robots to perform complex tasks like flying helicopters or surgical suturing, the new approach is based on observing and recording the motions of human experts as they perform these feats.

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process.

People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.

The one exclusive sign of thorough knowledge is the power of teaching.

We have to make machines understand what they're doing, or they won't be able to come back and say, 'Why did you do that?'

Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.

When human judgment and big data intersect there are some funny things that happen.

Intelligence is the source of technology. If we can use technology to improve intelligence, that closes the loop and potentially creates a positive feedback cycle.

I'm not a futurist.

I can't imagine that life can be replaced with a computer universe. I can't accept it.

Data helps solve problems.

The nervous system and the automatic machine are fundamentally alike in that they are devices, which make decisions on the basis of decisions they made in the past.

Nothing is less instructive than a machine.
