Steven Levy Quotes

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

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

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.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

As a science fiction fan, I had always assumed that when computers supplemented our intelligence, it would be because we outsourced some of our memory to them. We would ask questions, and our machines would give oracular - or supremely practical - replies.

The only path to build intelligent machines is to enable it with powerful visual intelligence, just like what animals did in evolution.

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'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.

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

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

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.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly - on a historical scale, that is - we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years.

The idea [of the Quantum Computer] is to create a machine that is as intelligence as humans, and probably much more so.

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

This is a magical time for computer programming. We are moving towards the artifical intelligence holy grail of programming the computer to simulate the human brain.

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.

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

I often tell my students not to be misled by the name 'artificial intelligence' - there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans' lives and human society.

I'd like to make a fundamental impact on one of the most exciting, intelligent questions of all time. Can we use software and hardware to build intelligence into a machine? Can that machine help us solve cancer? Can that machine help us solve climate change?

It's paradoxical that things that are hard for people are easy for the computer, and things that are hard for the computer, any child can understand.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of how to get machines to do the things they do in the movies.

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.
