Diane Greene Quotes

I don't think there's anything unique about human intelligence.

The largest and most powerful computers are still no match for the smallest and weakest humans.

If you wanted to design a robot that could learn as well as it possibly could, you might end up with something that looked a lot like a 3-year-old.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

We often attribute 'understanding' and other cognitive predicates by metaphor and analogy to cars, adding machines, and other artifacts, but nothing is proved by such attributions.

It turns out a human being in two, three or four hours can build a search result that's much better than Google, Yahoo or Ask.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

People assume that computers will do everything that humans do. Not good. People are different from each other and they are all really different from computers.

Despite all the hype and excitement about AI, it's still extremely limited today relative to what human intelligence is.

None of us today know how to get computers to learn with the speed and flexibility of a child.

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.

We're making progress, but getting machines to replicate our ability to perceive and manipulate the world remains incredibly hard.

Google seems to be more intelligent than some people.

Things that are so hard for people, like playing championship-level Go and poker, have turned out to be relatively easy for the machines. Yet at the same time, the things that are easiest for a person - like making sense of what they see in front of them, speaking in their mother tongue - the machines really struggle with.

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.

I don't think there's anything unique about human intellience. All the nuerons in the brain that make up perceptions and emotions operate in a binary fashion.

Until computers and robots make quantum advances, they basically remain adding machines: capable only of doing things in which all the variables are controlled and predictable. Robots are bad at pattern recognition and certainly at common sense. That's why computers can beat humans in chess but can't have even a basic conversation with a six-year-old.

Basically, if you want to have a computer system that could pass the Turing test, it as a machine is going to have to be able to self-reference and use its own experience and the sense data that it's taking in to basically create its own understanding of the world and use that as a reference point for all new sense data that's coming in to it.

My own work falls into a subset of AI that is about building artificial emotional intelligence, or Emotion AI for short.

Early AI was mainly based on logic. You're trying to make computers that reason like people. The second route is from biology: You're trying to make computers that can perceive and act and adapt like animals.

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

Everything that humans can do a machine can do.

I spent many, many hours with my computer, and it really bugged me that it was very oblivious to my emotional state. And that kind of inspired and motivated me to build an emotionally intelligent computer.

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.

Even a cat has things it can do that AI cannot.
