Philip M. Parker Quotes

Computations are everywhere, once you begin to look at things in a certain way.

An algorithm must be seen to be believed.

If you want to solve very complex problems, you will have to end up letting machines work out a lot of the details for themselves, and in ways that we don't understand what they are doing.

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.

The computer is not, in our opinion, a good model of the mind, but it is as the trumpet is to the orchestra - you really need it. And so, we have very massive simulations in computers because the problem is, of course, very complex.

Some people think technology has the answers.

Robots are good at things that are structured.

Systems are going to get a lot more sophisticated.

It was a case of the technology catching up with the problem.

There will always be plenty of things to compute in the detailed affairs of millions of people doing complicated things.

Algorithm

I want an AI-powered society because I see so many ways that AI can make human life better. We can make so many decisions more systematically or automate away repetitive tasks and save so much human time.

Deep learning is a very capital-intensive area, and it's rare to find a company with both the necessary resources and a company structure where things can get done without having to pass through too many channels and committee meetings.

There's a lot of automation that can happen that isn't a replacement of humans but of mind-numbing behavior.

Every problem is super-interesting and has its own nuances, and you solve it today, but you try to solve it with an architecture. You build a machine to solve the problems that are like it later. And then you move on to the next.

A calculator is a tool for humans to do math more quickly and accurately than they could ever do by hand; similarly, AI computers are tools for us to perform tasks too difficult or expensive for us to do on our own, such as analyzing large data sets or keeping up to date on medical research.

Automation is driving the decline of banal and repetitive tasks.

It isn't obvious and it took us a while to demonstrate that we could actually design a machine that bends.

I think that there are so many problems that we have as a society that AI can help us address.

We need a lot more technically literate people. The computers are the tools that are going to solve essentially all problems, and the people who can use them better will be more effective.

After all, if you had the complete decision process, you could run it as an AI, and I'd be coding it up right now.

Artificial intelligence is here and being rapidly commercialized, with new applications being created not just for manufacturing but also for energy, healthcare, and oil and gas. This will change how we all do business.

I love sophisticated algorithms that help consumers in a tangible way.

It is becoming harder for us to stay on top of the onslaught - e-mails, messages, appointments, alerts. Augmented intelligence offers the possibility of winnowing an increasing number of inputs and options in a way that humans can't manage without a helping hand.

Data science is the combination of analytics and the development of new algorithms.
