Steve Jobs Quotes

To make a computer do something that would take a human a long period of time was always interesting.

Computers are famous for being able to do complicated things starting from simple programs.

Machine learning is the science of getting computers to learn without being explicitly programmed.

It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number, add it to this number, put the result there, perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of, let's say, 1,000,000 per second. At 1,000,000 per second, the results appear to be magic.

Computers, like automobiles and airplanes, do only what people tell them to do.

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.

There's an evolution from, today we tell computers to do stuff for us, to where computers can actually do stuff for us. For example, if I go and pick up my kids, it would be good for my car to be aware that my kids have entered the car and change the music to something that's appropriate for them.

I'm not afraid of computers taking over the world.

The computer is not, in our opinion, a good model of the mind, but it is as the trumpet is to the orchestra - you really need it. And so, we have very massive simulations in computers because the problem is, of course, very complex.

Computers will be able to do all the mundane tasks in our daily lives.

Computers have proved to be formidable chess players. In fact, they've beaten our top human chess champions.

Computers do the calculating to allow people to transform the world.

There will always be plenty of things to compute in the detailed affairs of millions of people doing complicated things.

We think that computer models represent reality especially if we developed the models.

Artificial Intelligence is one of those areas where we should be proactive in controlling it rather than reactive. If we are reactive, by the time we will do the necessary things, it will be too late. Robots can do everything better than we [humans] can.

A computer is a great device because it enables you to do anything which is automatic, anything that you don't need your understanding for. Understanding is outside a computer. It doesn't understand.

AI - not so some kind of far-off thing. It's part of our lives now, from your phone to everything you do. It makes our lives easier in a lot of ways.

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.

A calculator is a tool for humans to do math more quickly and accurately than they could ever do by hand; similarly, AI computers are tools for us to perform tasks too difficult or expensive for us to do on our own, such as analyzing large data sets or keeping up to date on medical research.

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.

Once computers can program, they basically take over technological progress because already, today, the majority of technological progress is run by software, by programming.

Everybody uses computers to train so much now that the first nine or 10 moves of a match are made without thinking.

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

Everything that humans can do a machine can do.

I got interested in computers and how they could be enslaved to the megalomaniac impulses of a teenager.
