Donald Knuth Quotes

People are good at intuition, living our lives. What are computers good at? Memory.

Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to.

Programming is how we talk to the machines that are increasingly woven into our lives. If you aren't a programmer, you're like one of the unlettered people of the Middle Ages who were told what to think by the literate priesthood. We had a Renaissance when more people could read and write; we'll have another one when everyone programs.

I think that the artificial-intelligence people are making a lot of noise recently, claiming that artificial intelligence is making huge progress and we're going to be outstripped by the machines.

I am part of the World Economic Forum Global Council on Robotics and AI, and we spend a fair amount of our time together as a group discussing ethics, best practices, and the like.

Increasingly, we are embedding artificial intelligence into the core of our clients' businesses across every function and process.

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.

More than 500 million years ago, vision became the primary driving force of evolution's 'big bang', the Cambrian Explosion, which resulted in explosive speciation of the animal kingdom. 500 million years later, AI technology is at the verge of changing the landscape of how humans live, work, communicate, and shape our environment.

AI is a tool. The choice about how it gets deployed is ours.

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

As AI becomes the new infrastructure, flowing invisibly through our daily lives like the water in our faucets, we must understand its short- and long-term effects and know that it is safe for all to use.

I think that there are so many problems that we have as a society that AI can help us address.

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.

And nowadays, the idea of AI is not really science fiction anymore - it's just science fact.

I believe in human-centered AI to benefit people in positive and benevolent ways.

I think the automation of vision is a much bigger deal than the invention of perspective.

Science is going to be revolutionized by AI assistants.

Advanced technology changes the way we work and the skills we need, but it also boosts productivity and creates new jobs.

AI is everywhere. It's not that big, scary thing in the future. AI is here with us.

As we get robots becoming more sophisticated, I think we should worry sooner rather than later on how much they could take over, but I think it'll mostly be a positive thing. In terms of deadlines it won't be any worse than nuclear weapons.

There's animals like us existing and thinking and giving interviews on Australian television.

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.

the science of control and communication in the animal and the machine

We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields.
