Andrew Ng Quotes

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.

My goal is to create friend machines. Friendly genius machines. Machines with genius capabilities.

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

I'd rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.

IA is something that is proceeding very naturally, in most cases not even recognized by its developers for what it is.

My principal professional objective is to introduce intelligence as the ubiquitous utility. I'd like to be the Thomas Edison of intelligence.

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

By 2020, most home computers will have the computing power of a human brain. That doesn't mean that they are brains, but it means that in terms of raw processing, they can process bits as fast as a brain can. So the question is, how far behind that is the development of a machine that's as smart as we are?

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.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

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.

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

The revolution in AI [artifical intelligence] has been profound. It surprised me, even though I was sitting right there.

As more intelligent computer assistance comes into being, it will amplify human progress.

Think about when a digital business marries up with what I'll call 'digital intelligence.' It is the dawn of a new era about being a 'cognitive' business.

I believe this artificial intelligence is going to be our partner. If we misuse it, it will be a risk. If we use it right, it can be our partner.

Artificial intelligence is one of 50 things that Watson does. There is also machine learning, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and different analytical engines - they're like little Lego bricks. You can put intelligence in any product or any process you have.

I'm trying to use AI to make the world a better place. To help scientists. To help us communicate more effectively with machines and collaborate with them.

The tools and technologies we've developed are really the first few drops of water in the vast ocean of what AI can do.

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

Increasingly, we are embedding artificial intelligence into the core of our clients' businesses across every function and process.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It's hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.
