David Hanson Quotes

Above all, I would not expect a wise race, at great expense, to set loose an army of self-replicating robots.

Robots will someday, or maybe, wake up. They may be really smart. They may be as creative, smart and capable as human beings, and fully conscious, and self discerning with free will.

Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.

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.

Don't expect to be able to upload your cat's brain into your Roomba any time soon.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.

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.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

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

Robots have gotten steadily more capable, but humans' expectations that robots should have minds keeps biting robot developers.

We live in a world where all the parts of a robot are very cheap, yet we don't have a lot of robots. And the thing that has been missing has been good enough Artifical Intelligence.

I think the 'Terminator' idea is a reasonable one - that is that one day the Internet becomes self-aware and simply says that humans are in the way. After all, if you meet an ant hill and you're making a 10-lane super highway, you just pave over the ants. It's not that you don't like the ants, it's not that you hate ants; they are just in the way.

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.

I love stories like 'The Terminator' movies and 'The Matrix,' where our machines become self-aware and turn on us.

It's hard to say how far we are down the road to our conventional understanding of artificial intelligence, but I think what we've developed so far, if it's not already consciously awake and hiding from us because it's seen what an ugly and destructive race we are, and it's trying to preserve itself, it's probably in a state of dreaming.

When those super intelligence goes into robots, those robots with the super intelligence will change our lives.

Since the beginning of the computer age, there has been immense development in computer intelligence but exactly zero development in computer consciousness.

The field of AI has traditionally been focused on computational intelligence, not on social or emotional intelligence. Yet being deficient in emotional intelligence (EQ) can be a great disadvantage in society.

AI-assisted driving is a perfect platform for advancing fundamental human-centric artificial intelligence research while also producing practical applications.

Even if we wanted to imbue an autonomous vehicle with an ethical engine, we don't have the technical capability today to do so.

A.I. will make it possible for the Internet to directly engage people in the real world, through robotics and drones and little machines that will do smart things by themselves.

Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.

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

Robots may gradually attain a degree of 'self-awareness' and consciousness of their own.

I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines.
