Karl Iagnemma Quotes

Any time you stand in line at the D.M.V. and look around, you're like, Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.

Your car should drive itself. It's amazing to me that we let humans drive cars... It's a bug that cars were invented before computers.

We are still fearful, superstitious and all-too-human creatures. At times, we forget the magnitude of the havoc we can wreak by off-loading our minds onto super-intelligent machines, that is, until they run away from us, like mad sorcerers' apprentices, and drag us up to the precipice for a look down into the abyss.

I have all the tools and gadgets. I tell my son, who's a producer, 'You never work for the machine; the machine works for you.'

When a machine can do something better and faster than a person can, I am happy to let the machine do it.

Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don't have to be that good to be much better. Any time you stand in line at the DMV and look around, you're like, 'Oh, my God, I wish all these people were replaced by computer drivers.'

The implementation of autonomous driving needs a whole new rethinking. To really make it an attribute for society, we really need to think differently about where and when and how we implement this.

Advances in automation, artificial intelligence and robotics, while increasing productivity, will also cause major upheavals to the workforce.

Consider one possible future that could occur soon, where autonomous trucks travel highways with a human 'monitor' in the cab who can assist with particularly challenging driving like navigating city centres and ensure goods are delivered safely.

It's challenging to drive in a way that's human-like.

Humans violate the rules in a safe and principled way, and the reality is that autonomous vehicles in the future may have to do the same thing if they don't want to be the source of bottlenecks.

Automation is good, so long as you know exactly where to put the machine.

Conflating thought experiments with reality could slow the deployment of AVs that are reliably safer than human drivers.

Humans are the worst control system to put in front of a car.

The computer can do a much better job than the human eye, as it is much more systematic in analysing tissues.

I'm so tired of cyberpunk that says using machines to make your life better makes you less human.

Instead of expecting truck drivers and warehouse workers to rapidly retrain so they can compete with tireless, increasingly capable machines, let's play to their human strengths and create opportunities for workers as companions and caregivers for our elders, our children, and our special-needs population.

We work in an industry where people invent technology to avoid what we create.

We're not going to see an exclusively robotic factory, but we will see the optimum use of robots and people.

Computers were programmed to swap out error-prone, inconsistent human calculation with digital perfection.

All you need is self-driving cars to destabilize society.

AI-assisted driving is a perfect platform for advancing fundamental human-centric artificial intelligence research while also producing practical applications.

An AI utopia is a place where people have income guaranteed because their machines are working for them. Instead, they focus on activities that they want to do, that are personally meaningful like art or, where human creativity still shines, in science.

Twice a week, a truck comes near my house, and two guys get out and pick up the garbage. This will disappear. There will still be a truck coming, but it will be driven autonomously, and the garbage will be picked up autonomously, and those jobs will be gone.

Cyborg is way heavier, way bigger than me.
