I believed in realism, as summarized by John McCarthy's comment to the effect that if we worked really hard, we'd have an intelligent system in from four to four hundred years.

We wanted to solve robot problems and needed some vision, action, reasoning, planning, and so forth. We even used some structural learning, such as was being explored by Patrick Winston.

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?

My car and my adding machine understand nothing: they are not in that line of business.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

Google seems to be more intelligent than some people.

Human players have their strengths and weaknesses and Watson is the same way. He just has different strengths and weaknesses than most people.

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.

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

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.

Interactive computers and software will, I think, provide a less costly method of doing some kinds of inquiry, in knowledge acquisition and even reasoning and interaction.

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.

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.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.

My background really comes from geekdom and the idea of building a smart machine. If we're going to build a smart machine, let's have it read good books.

Note that I am not proposing that AI research be ignored or less funded.

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.

The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.

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

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

This is a magical time for computer programming. We are moving towards the artifical intelligence holy grail of programming the computer to simulate the human brain.

Whatever you are studying right now, if you are not getting up to speed on deep learning, neural networks, etc., you lose. We are going through the process where software will automate software, automation will automate automation.

Because Facebook can't exist without AI, it needs all its engineers to build with it.

I'd rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.
