Peter Drucker Quotes

But how does it feel to plug into a system that's say, a million times as smart as a person.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

Artificial intelligence, in fact, is obviously an intelligence transmitted by conscious subjects, an intelligence placed in equipment. It has a clear origin, in fact, in the intelligence of the human creators of such equipment.

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 basis of computer work is predicated on the idea that only the brain makes decisions and only the index finger does the work.

I've always been interested in technology, but specifically how we can use machines to engage the imagination. I started using computers when I was young and was fascinated by creating rules and instructions that allow a computer to engage in a dialogue with humans. The stories found in the data all around us can do just that.

My background really comes from geekdom and the idea of building a smart machine. If we're going to build a smart machine, let's have it read good books.

By 2020, most home computers will have the computing power of a human brain. That doesn't mean that they are brains, but it means that in terms of raw processing, they can process bits as fast as a brain can. So the question is, how far behind that is the development of a machine that's as smart as we are?

Think? Why think! We have computers to do that for us.

Some claim that computers will, by 2050, achieve human capabilities. Of course, in some respects they already have.

My car and my adding machine understand nothing: they are not in that line of business.

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

I'd rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.

Look, when AIs come up, they're not going to be like us. A self-aware, sentient AI is not going to be like a human.

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.

Google seems to be more intelligent than some people.

If you ask people whether a computer can be smarter than a human, 99.9 percent will say that's science fiction. Actually, it's inevitable. It's guaranteed to happen.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It's hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.

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.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand, namely, exactly nothing.

By 2029, computers will have emotional intelligence and be convincing as people.

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

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.

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