Karl Iagnemma Quotes

Google was the right place to pioneer robot cars.

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

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.

AI does not keep me up at night. Almost no one is working on conscious machines. Deep learning algorithms, or Google search, or Facebook personalization, or Siri or self driving cars or Watson, those have the same relationship to conscious machines as a toaster does to a chess-playing computer.

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

Some Google employees have their self-driving vehicles take them to work. These car robots don't look like something from 'The Jetsons'; the driverless features on these cars are a bunch of sensors, wires, and software. This technology 'works.'

I have been spending the better part of my professional life trying to create self-driving cars. At Google, I am working with a world-class team of engineers to turn science fiction into reality.

If you say you want to automate cars and save people's lives, the skills you need for that aren't taught in any particular discipline. I know - I was interested in working on automating cars when I was a Ph.D. student in 1995.

Eventually, all cars are going to be autonomous.

I'm a firm believer that autonomous driving is coming.

We're doing a lot of work on self-driving cars. We do not currently have cars in the U.S., but we plan to, for development and testing. I think we are within striking distance of making self-driving cars a reality, and these would be powered by deep learning.

For better or worse, we have to bridge this divide between developing cars that drive by the book and cars that drive how you and I drive.

We really believe that long-term, the way AI will drive is similar to the way humans drive - we don't break the problem down into objects and vision and localization and planning. But how long it will take us to get there is questionable.

The self-driving car revolution was kicked off by The 'DARPA' Grand Challenge to make an autonomous car traverse 132 mi. of a desert.

I suck as a driver. I believe all cars should be piloted and driven by machines.

I think it's very clear now that we will have self-driving cars.

We need to build EQ in our AI systems because, otherwise, they're not going to be as effective as they were designed to be.

The energy that's going into autonomous vehicles is very significant, and we expect to continue to invest there.

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.

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

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

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

My opinion is it's a bridge too far to go to fully autonomous cars.

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.
