Theodor W. Adorno Quotes

Computers seem a little too adaptively flexible, like the strange natives, odd societies, and head cases we study in the social sciences. There's more opposable thumb in the digital world than I care for; it's awfully close to human.

The real danger is not that computers will begin to think like men, but that men will begin to think like computers.

It won’t be long before we all number synthetic creatures among our friends.

I hope people can envision a future where we as humans have robots that are alongside us, assisting in our daily lives.

Computers are the most powerful tools that humanity has ever created. Yet, we treat them largely as a black box; as if it were an alien artifact that magically appeared on desks, in homes, and in our pockets.

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

Could an android listen to the whining, requests for advancement, and entreaties for guidance and affection that pour from subordinates? Sure it could. Frankly, all that would be easier on the robot than it is on me.

As far as what is the line between human and machine? That's a great question.

I see technology as being an extension of the human body.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans. And I am rooting for the machines.

In a few years the androids will be working for us. Let’s hope that we never have to work for them

Technology will save us if it doesn't wipe us out first.

I believe this artificial intelligence is going to be our partner. If we misuse it, it will be a risk. If we use it right, it can be our partner.

My obsession is with technology and how it can improve human life. In my view, what we have seen in the last 300 years is only a trailer.

As a technologist, I see how AI and the fourth industrial revolution will impact every aspect of people's lives.

I have a suspicion that the politicians' revival of the old behaviourist ideas and techniques will be helped and reinforced by a powerful ally - the machines we have built. The computers.

What does the future of 'Westworld' look like? I don't necessarily think that we've seen the last of these artificial worlds that are central to the concept of our series as a whole. But the major lens that we will have is going to be the real world.

I love looking at machines that mimic human behavior.

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.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

AI is neither good nor evil. It's a tool. It's a technology for us to use.

I'm not Borg Two, I'm Wilander One.

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

I don't think the robots are taking over. I think the men who play with toys have taken over. And if we don't take the toys out of their hands, we're fools.
