Spike Jonze Quotes

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.

Despite all the hype and excitement about AI, it's still extremely limited today relative to what human intelligence is.

Google seems to be more intelligent than some 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?

I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.

The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.

I'd rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.

Look, when AIs come up, they're not going to be like us. A self-aware, sentient AI is not going to be like a human.

To make real progress in A.I., we have to overcome the big challenges in the area of common sense.

Artificial intelligence, in fact, is obviously an intelligence transmitted by conscious subjects, an intelligence placed in equipment. It has a clear origin, in fact, in the intelligence of the human creators of such equipment.

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

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.

I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today, we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.

When people speak of creating superhumanly intelligent beings, they are usually imagining an AI project.

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

But how does it feel to plug into a system that's say, a million times as smart as a person.

The computer is a moron.

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

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

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.

If you ask people whether a computer can be smarter than a human, 99.9 percent will say that's science fiction. Actually, it's inevitable. It's guaranteed to happen.

Since the beginning of the computer age, there has been immense development in computer intelligence but exactly zero development in computer consciousness.

There's a great phrase, written in the '70s: 'The definition of today's AI is a machine that can make a perfect chess move while the room is on fire.' It really speaks to the limitations of AI. In the next wave of AI research, if we want to make more helpful and useful machines, we've got to bring back the contextual understanding.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.
