Andrew Ng Quotes

The benefits of having robots could vastly outweigh the problems.

I hate the fact that so much of our life is computerised rather than mechanised.

I have seen that technology has contributed to improved communication, that it's contributed to better health care, that it's contributed to better food supplies, that it has contributed to all the basic human needs.

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

It is now possible to make far cheaper robotic devices, which in turn means that physical services provided by robotics will get substantially cheaper.

I think AI is the new electricity. Whatever industry you work in, AI will probably transform it, just as 100 years ago the rise of electricity transformed industry after industry—everything from transportation and communications to manufacturing to health care.

Robots allow our employees to work safely, faster, and at less cost.

Someday in the distant cyborg future, when our internal and external memories fully merge, we may come to possess infinite knowledge. But that's not the same thing as wisdom.

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

Pretty soon we'll have robots in our society, you're going to have a lot of automated processes that used to be done by people - this is happening. Society and technology is changing so fast, and the impact of the change on society and technology is global, not local.

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

The future is here.

If that's there, I believe that technology will probably step up to their part of it.

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.

If you want to bring down the prices of healthcare and education, the answer will be more innovation, more technology, which will then have the effect of freaking everybody out and saying, 'Oh, my God, you're going to kill all the jobs.'

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

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.

Technology is the knack of so arranging the world that we don't have to experience it.

I just want the future to happen faster. I can't imagine the future without robots.

The concept of the robot encapsulates both aspects of technology. On one hand it's cool, it's fun, it's healthy, it's sexy, it's stylish. On the other hand it's terrifying, it's alienating, it's addictive, and it's scary. That has been the subject of much science-fiction literature.

Personally, I'm not afraid of a robot uprising. The benefits far outweigh the threats.

The role of humans as the most important factor of production is bound to diminish in the same way that the role of the horse in agricultural production.
