Mats Wilander Quotes

I am the Chenbot!

People say, like, 'Are you a regular person?' 'Well, I'm not a robot, if that's what you're asking, I really am a person.'

What's casual for a robot isn't necessarily what's casual for a human.

As far as what is the line between human and machine? That's a great question.

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.

There will come a time when the human race and super intelligence will coexist to create a richer and happier life.

I think a lot of jobs, with that additional artificial intelligence, we can augment human capabilities and impact.

I love looking at machines that mimic human behavior.

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.

The sad thing about artificial intelligence is that it lacks artifice and therefore intelligence.

I've come to a view that humans will continue to do what we do well, and that computers will continue to do what they do very well, and the two will coexist, but in different spaces.

Technology is making gestures precise and brutal, and with them men.

We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.

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

I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.

If it was going to be unique, if you're going to make a robot movie in 2011... it had to be different, and it had to be about more than its machines and more than its action.

A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.

Through our evolution, we're so specialized for social interaction. So, if you can really design robots that can interact with people, in this very natural, interpersonal way, I think that would be great. You wouldn't have to have people read manuals, in order to operate them.

If we're going to achieve compassion in the machines and also feel safe with the machines, to raise machines with human-like values, we need to make them human-like by simulating, or perhaps eventually imitating, human beings in high accuracy from top to bottom.

Since the rise of Homo sapiens, human beings have been the smartest minds around. But very shortly - on a historical scale, that is - we can expect technology to break the upper bound on intelligence that has held for the last few tens of thousands of years.

The big question society will have to answer is whether it wants computers thinking like humans.

I absolutely don't think a sentient artificial intelligence is going to wage war against the human species.

It won’t be long before we all number synthetic creatures among our friends.

Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.
