Eric Schmidt Quotes

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

Some claim that computers will, by 2050, achieve human capabilities. Of course, in some respects they already have.

Even though chess isn't the toughest thing that computers will tackle for centuries, it stood as a handy symbol for human intelligence. No matter what human-like feat computers perform in the future, the Deep Blue match demands an indelible dot on all timelines of AI progress.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it's still being invented; we're still trying to work out how it works. There's a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn't recognise. It's time for the machines to disappear. The computer's got to disappear into all of the things we use.

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

It's going to be interesting to see how society deals with artificial intelligence, but it will definitely be cool.

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.

The purpose of technology is not to confuse the brain but to serve the body.

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.

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

I think AI is the new electricity. Whatever industry you work in, AI will probably transform it, just as 100 years ago the rise of electricity transformed industry after industry—everything from transportation and communications to manufacturing to health care.

We want to build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences.

I'm trying to use AI to make the world a better place. To help scientists. To help us communicate more effectively with machines and collaborate with them.

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.

Once you acknowledge that human brains are basically made of atoms and acknowledge that atoms are governed by simple laws of physics, then there is no reasoning principle why computers couldn't do anything that people are doing, and we don't really see any evidence that this is not the case.

In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age.

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.

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.

The real goal of AI is to understand and build devices that can perceive, reason, act, and learn at least as well as we can.

Computers are great tools, but they need to be applied to the physical world.
