Quotations on Artificial Intelligence


Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and robots and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955, defines it as "the science and engineering of making   intelligent machines."


1. Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time. -- Terry Pratchett

2. The question of whether computers can think is like the question of whether submarines can swim. ― Edsger W. Dijkstra

3. To be human is to be 'a' human, a specific person with a life history and idiosyncrasy and point of view; artificial intelligence suggest that the line between intelligent machines and people blurs most when a puree is made of that identity. ― Brian Christian

4. Maybe the only significant difference between a really smart simulation and a human being was the noise they made when you punched them. ― Terry Pratchett

5. I think they are a better race than humans ever were. ― Angelo Tsanatelis

6. The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else. ― Eliezer Yudkowsky

7. Our ultimate objective is to make programs that learn from their experience as effectively as humans do. We shall…say that a program has common sense if it automatically deduces for itself a sufficient wide class of immediate consequences of anything it is told and what it already knows. ― John McCarthy

8. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. ― Anon.

9. I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines. ― Claude Shannon

10. Artificial intelligence is that field of computer usage which attempts to  construct computational mechanisms for activities that are considered to require intelligence when performed by humans. ― Derek Partridge

11. AI is about making machines more fathomable and more under the control of human beings, not less. Conventional technology has indeed been making our environment more complex and more incomprehensible, and if it continues as it is doing now the only conceivable outcome is disaster. ― Donald Michie

12. Machines will be capable, within twenty years, of doing any work that a man can do. ― Herbert Simon

13. Artificial intelligence is the mimicking of human thought and cognitive processes to solve complex problems. ― Richard Stottler

14. AI has never been a monolithic science; by the mid-1970s, the diverging interests of its pioneers were giving birth to recognizable specialties. ― Daniel Crevier

15. Artificial Intelligence: the art of making computers that behave like the ones in movies. ― Bill Bulko

16. Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.― Alan Kay

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

18. By 2100, our destiny is to become like the gods we once worshipped and feared. But our tools will not be magic wands and potions but the science of computers, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and most of all, the quantum theory. ― Michio Kaku

19. “As more and more artificial intelligence is entering into the world, more and more emotional intelligence must enter into leadership.” Amit Ray

20. “Artificial intelligence will reach human levels by around 2029. Follow that out further to, say, 2045, and we will have multiplied the intelligence – the human biological machine intelligence of our civilization – a billion-fold.” Ray Kurzweil

21. “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.” Stephen Hawking

22. “It seems probable that once the machine thinking method had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers… They would be able to converse with each other to sharpen their wits. At some stage, therefore, we should have to expect the machines to take control.” Alan Turing

23. “AI doesn’t have to be evil to destroy humanity – if AI has a goal and humanity just happens to come in the way, it will destroy humanity as a matter of course without even thinking about it, no hard feelings.” Elon Musk

24. “We have seen AI providing conversation and comfort to the lonely; we have also seen AI engaging in racial discrimination. Yet the biggest harm that AI is likely to do to individuals in the short term is job displacement, as the amount of work we can automate with AI is vastly larger than before. As leaders, it is incumbent on all of us to make sure we are building a world in which every individual has an opportunity to thrive.” Andrew Ng

25. “Robots are not going to replace humans, they are going to make their jobs much more humane. Difficult, demeaning, demanding, dangerous, dull – these are the jobs robots will be taking. Sabine Hauert

26. “If we do it right, we might be able to evolve a form of work that taps into our uniquely human capabilities and restores our humanity. The ultimate paradox is that this technology may become a powerful catalyst that we need to reclaim our humanity.” John Hagel

27. “The coming era of Artificial Intelligence will not be the era of war, but be the era of deep compassion, non-violence, and love.” Amit Ray
