Andrew Ng Quotes

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

To make real progress in A.I., we have to overcome the big challenges in the area of common sense.

The real goal of AI is to understand and build devices that can perceive, reason, act, and learn at least as well as we can.

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

I am suggesting that we recognize that in network and interface research there is something as profound (and potential wild) as Artificial Intelligence.

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.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.

Look, when AIs come up, they're not going to be like us. A self-aware, sentient AI is not going to be like a human.

There's a long history of artificial intelligence programs that try to mimic what the brain is doing, but they've all fallen short.

Artificial intelligence, in fact, is obviously an intelligence transmitted by conscious subjects, an intelligence placed in equipment. It has a clear origin, in fact, in the intelligence of the human creators of such equipment.

Artificial intelligence is one of 50 things that Watson does. There is also machine learning, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and different analytical engines - they're like little Lego bricks. You can put intelligence in any product or any process you have.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

My principal professional objective is to introduce intelligence as the ubiquitous utility. I'd like to be the Thomas Edison of intelligence.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

AI does not keep me up at night. Almost no one is working on conscious machines. Deep learning algorithms, or Google search, or Facebook personalization, or Siri or self driving cars or Watson, those have the same relationship to conscious machines as a toaster does to a chess-playing computer.

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

I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.

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.

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.

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

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

But how does it feel to plug into a system that's say, a million times as smart as a person.

The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.

The computer is a moron.
