Neural Networks Quotes

The brain is the last and grandest biological frontier, the most complex thing we have yet discovered in our universe. It contains hundreds of billions of cells interlinked through trillions of connections. The brain boggles the mind.

Lulled in the countless chambers of the brain, our thoughts are linked by many a hidden chain; awake but one, and in, what myriads rise!

But if the technological Singularity can happen, it will.

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 brain is the most complex, challenging scientific puzzle we have ever tried to decode.

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.

The neuroscience area - which is absolutely in its infancy - is much more important than genetics.

There is no memory or retentive faculty based on lasting impression. What we designate as memory is but increased responsiveness to repeated stimuli.

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.

The human brain, then, is the most complicated organization of matter that we know.

When people speak of creating superhumanly intelligent beings, they are usually imagining an AI project.

I came in as an engineer and worked on artificial intelligence at Google. I worked on related sites and matching advertising to queries with some of our earliest ads.

One of the things I've come to appreciate about the brain is the importance of location. It's not just a set of interchangeable parts that you can swap in and out.

When brains get sufficiently big, presumably, as human brains have, consciousness seems to emerge.

As work in neurosciences indicates, the acquisition of literacy necessitated a new circuit in our species' brain more than 6,000 years ago. That circuit evolved from a very simple mechanism for decoding basic information, like the number of goats in one's herd, to the present, highly elaborated reading brain.

As a college student, what really interested me was the human brain and human intelligence.

There's a very long tail of all sorts of creative products - beyond our core web search, image search and advertising businesses - that are powered by deep learning.

Supercomputers will achieve one human brain capacity by 2010, and personal computers will do so by about 2020.

The revolution in AI [artifical intelligence] has been profound. It surprised me, even though I was sitting right there.

When I was a graduate student in computer science in the early 2000s, computers were barely able to detect sharp edges in photographs, let alone recognize something as loosely defined as a human face.

I'm a geek through and through. My last job at Microsoft was leading much of the search engine relevance work on Bing. There we got to play with huge amounts of data, with neural networks and other AI techniques, with massive server farms.

Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this.

I thought the best place to advance the AI mission is at Baidu.

Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence.
