Colin Angle Quotes

If you look at it from just a pure economic basis, technology is replacing all of the jobs robots can do, and machinery is replacing the jobs that humans once held. If we don't train our children to imagine, to create, they're going to be unemployable.

The root of the worker’s resistance to technological change is the conflict between labor as a commodity and labor as a resource. Increased productivity imposes upon the worker a risk of obsolescence.

The best machinery in the world has to be handled by intelligent people.

Automation is driving the decline of banal and repetitive tasks.

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

Digitally enabled supply chains initially increased efficiency and dramatically shortened lead times. Capital was mobile; labor, less so. Economic activity (production, research, design, etc.) moved to any accessible country or region that had relatively inexpensive labor and human capital.

What about passion, dedication, loyalty? Can a robot provide those? No! On the other hand, it's easier to retire a robot when its day is done.

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.

Companies are doing a good job at producing stuff. They are just doing it without people.

In the end, I expect we'll have AI that is better than we are at nearly every narrow task but which are still our tools, not our masters.

Over a long period of time, technological change is something that has been important in reducing manufacturing employment - absolutely and as a share of jobs in the economy.

The next revolution, the next trend is to be an intelligence-intensive company. That has more value to society than a labor-intensive company.

Our machines increasingly do our work for us. Why doesn't this make our labor redundant and our skills obsolete? Why are there still so many jobs?

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

Artificial intelligence is destroying the traditional world of work.

Workers are basically supervisors of machines.

Amid all the job losses of the Great Recession, there is one category of worker that the economic disruption has been good for: nonhumans.

Automation is no longer just a problem for those working in manufacturing. Physical labor was replaced by robots; mental labor is going to be replaced by AI and software.

All the technology going into self-driving cars is robotic technology. It's not automotive. That explains why some of the traditional automotive players didn't develop this technology.

The most important question in 21st-century economics may well be, 'What should we do with all the superfluous people, once we have highly intelligent non-conscious algorithms that can do almost everything better than humans?'

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.

I'm fascinated by technology and how it is changing the way we live and view our humanity.

AI is everywhere. It's not that big, scary thing in the future. AI is here with us.

I'm not Borg Two, I'm Wilander One.

I became interested in AI in high school because I read 'Goedel, Escher, Bach,' a book by Douglas Hofstader. He showed how all their work in some ways fit together, and he talked about artificial intelligence. I thought 'Wow, this is what I want to be doing.'
