Grace Hopper Quotes

It's paradoxical that things that are hard for people are easy for the computer, and things that are hard for the computer, any child can understand.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

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

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

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.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

The idea [of the Quantum Computer] is to create a machine that is as intelligence as humans, and probably much more so.

In much of computer science, I can easily 'auto-grade' your work and give you an instant meaningful feedback. I can't do this when it comes to the subtlety of human thought, language, poetry, philosophy.

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.

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.

If you step back a little and say we want to do A.I., then you will realize that A.I. needs knowledge, reasoning, and explanation.

We can't stop the development of smarter and smarter artificial intelligences. So our alternative is to make ourselves smarter so that we always stay one step ahead.

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

We believe behavioral science, cognitive computing, and machine intelligence are essential to a successful, holistic surveillance offering and critical to efficient and effective organizational compliance with an increasingly intricate global regulatory environment.

We want to take AI and CIFAR to wonderful new places, where no person, no student, no program has gone before.

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.

'Detroit' started based on a book called 'The Singularity is Near' by Ray Kurzweil, which is about this idea that one day there could be machines that are more intelligent than we are.

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.

You have to draw on a fair amount of experience in order to be able to put ideas together.

Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to.
