Laurie R. King Quotes

Whether it's created in a lab, written by a programmer, or lands on the White House lawn as a visitor from the stars, if it acts like a human being, it is a human being.

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

Robots will someday, or maybe, wake up. They may be really smart. They may be as creative, smart and capable as human beings, and fully conscious, and self discerning with free will.

Our culture already has a number of well known stories about artificial life and non-human intelligence. In 'Exegesis,' I've tried to not only tell a new and engaging story but also to comment on those well known stories through the details of my novel.

The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do.

Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain.

Intelligence is the faculty of making artificial objects, especially tools to make tools.

I ultimately got into robotics because for me, it was the best way to study intelligence.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

Robots are not people. They are mechanically more perfect than we are, they have an astounding intellectual capacity, but they have no soul.

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.

Equipment has heart, human heart, inside it.

It's hard to say how far we are down the road to our conventional understanding of artificial intelligence, but I think what we've developed so far, if it's not already consciously awake and hiding from us because it's seen what an ugly and destructive race we are, and it's trying to preserve itself, it's probably in a state of dreaming.

A computational device is incapable of developing a mind. We got consciousness not just by being clever.

I've always been skeptical of the idea that sentience is going to be an exclusively human attribute.

The field of AI has traditionally been focused on computational intelligence, not on social or emotional intelligence. Yet being deficient in emotional intelligence (EQ) can be a great disadvantage in society.

I love the human mind.

Artificial intelligence is here and being rapidly commercialized, with new applications being created not just for manufacturing but also for energy, healthcare, and oil and gas. This will change how we all do business.

And I think the greatest danger that AI poses isn't so much these anthropomorphic beings who look like us and are beguiling are going to fool us. It's the fact that a intelligence without a body or corporeal form will fool us into trusting it with data, which we seem to think is... it has no repercussions.

The popular dystopian vision of AI is wrong for one simple reason: it equates intelligence with autonomy. That is, it assumes a smart computer will create its own goals and have its own will and will use its faster processing abilities and deep databases to beat humans at their own game.

Increasingly, we are embedding artificial intelligence into the core of our clients' businesses across every function and process.

The only path to build intelligent machines is to enable it with powerful visual intelligence, just like what animals did in evolution.

We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine. It is essential for Indian doctors to familiarise themselves with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.

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.
