Sergey Brin Quotes

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.

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

We've seen computers play chess and beat grand masters. We've seen computers drive a car across a desert. But interestingly, playing chess is easy, but having a conversation about nothing is really difficult for a computer.

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.

In real life, I'm the kind of person that if I use Siri, I thank her afterwards.

Our aim is to develop affectionate robots that can make people smile.

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

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

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

With Emotion AI, we can inject humanity back into our connections, enabling not only our devices to better understand us, but fostering a stronger connection between us as individuals.

We all have friends we love dearly that couldn't pass for human in a strict Turing test.

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.

I'm an investor in a lot of things that have to do with human-computer interaction.

There is a lot of work out there to take people out of the loop in things like medical diagnosis. But if you are taking humans out of the loop, you are in danger of ending up with a very cold form of AI that really has no sense of human interest, human emotions, or human values.

I often tell my students not to be misled by the name 'artificial intelligence' - there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans' lives and human society.

The Turing Test was a brilliant idea, but it's evolved into a competition of chatbots.

After an afternoon of interviewing Siri it turns out there are millions of questions that it can't or won't answer: How did you get my phone number? How many Siris are there? Did you have a Christmas party? Who is playing the tiny xylophone before and after each interaction? Are you spying on us, plotting the downfall of our species?

Most efforts to approximate normal human behavior in software tend to be creepy or annoying.

By humanizing technology, we have this golden opportunity to reimagine how we connect with machines, and therefore, how we, as human beings, connect with one another.

Basically, if you want to have a computer system that could pass the Turing test, it as a machine is going to have to be able to self-reference and use its own experience and the sense data that it's taking in to basically create its own understanding of the world and use that as a reference point for all new sense data that's coming in to it.

My life project is humanizing technology: making technology more real and bringing it back into human interactions.

Making AI more sensitive to the full scope of human thought is no simple task. The solutions are likely to require insights derived from fields beyond computer science, which means programmers will have to learn to collaborate more often with experts in other domains.

AI is neither good nor evil. It's a tool. It's a technology for us to use.

I spent many, many hours with my computer, and it really bugged me that it was very oblivious to my emotional state. And that kind of inspired and motivated me to build an emotionally intelligent computer.
