Moshe Vardi Quotes

I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world.

Artificial Intelligence is one of those areas where we should be proactive in controlling it rather than reactive. If we are reactive, by the time we will do the necessary things, it will be too late. Robots can do everything better than we [humans] can.

Once computers can program, they basically take over technological progress because already, today, the majority of technological progress is run by software, by programming.

Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

The day I woke up and Reddit was working on its own was just the most incredible feeling.

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.

Any job that can be done by an illiterate can be done by a machine.

We can build a much brighter future where humans are relieved of menial work using AI capabilities.

A computer is a great device because it enables you to do anything which is automatic, anything that you don't need your understanding for. Understanding is outside a computer. It doesn't understand.

I'm more frightened than interested by artificial intelligence - in fact, perhaps fright and interest are not far away from one another. Things can become real in your mind, you can be tricked, and you believe things you wouldn't ordinarily. A world run by automatons doesn't seem completely unrealistic any more. It's a bit chilling.

It's only a matter of time before machinery becomes sentient. It's going to happen because we're already slaves to all of it.

I am patiently waiting for the singularity.

Technology and robotics are advancing and will reduce the need for workers in the future.

Technology is at the forefront of everything these days - communication, work. It's amazing and scary at the same time how robots have evolved, but I find it hard to believe that robots will completely rule the world. Not in my lifetime anyway.

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.

To make a computer do something that would take a human a long period of time was always interesting.

We're seeing the arrival of conversational robots that can walk in our world. It's a golden age of invention.

The capacity of computers is doubling every eight months. It's exponential development. I think it's a real threat, actually, that a computer one day will be more intelligent than us.

The future is here.

Every new computer program is basically doing some task that a person used to do. But the computer usually does it faster, more accurately, for less money, and without any health insurance costs.

But if the technological Singularity can happen, it will.

Computers will be able to do all the mundane tasks in our daily lives.

Some people think technology has the answers.

Let's not kid ourselves here, robots already run most of our world. We'll be their butlers soon enough.
