We build our technologies as a way of addressing all our anxieties and desires. They are our passions congealed into these prosthetic extensions of ourselves. And they do it in a way that reflects what we dream ourselves capable of doing.

Truly smart technologies will remind us that we are not mere automatons who assist big data in asking and answering questions.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.

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

A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human.

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.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

The idea [of the Quantum Computer] is to create a machine that is as intelligence as humans, and probably much more so.

Despite all the hype and excitement about AI, it's still extremely limited today relative to what human intelligence is.

Data is going to be dynamic... and, combined with the performance of computing that allows for artificial intelligence to be applied, is going to bring all kinds of insights and additives to enhance everyday life.

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.

We want to build intelligence that augments human abilities and experiences.

The big AI dreams of making machines that could someday evolve to do intelligent things like humans could - I was turned off by that. I didn't really think that was feasible when I first joined Stanford.

I think that AI will lead to a low cost and better quality life for millions of people. Like electricity, it's a possibility to build a wonderful society. Also, right now, I don't see a clear path for AI to surpass human-level intelligence.

Google seems to be more intelligent than some people.

We will not only use the machines for their intelligence, we will also collaborate with them in ways that we cannot even imagine.

Since the beginning of the computer age, there has been immense development in computer intelligence but exactly zero development in computer consciousness.

We believe behavioral science, cognitive computing, and machine intelligence are essential to a successful, holistic surveillance offering and critical to efficient and effective organizational compliance with an increasingly intricate global regulatory environment.

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.

The largest and most powerful computers are still no match for the smallest and weakest humans.

IA is something that is proceeding very naturally, in most cases not even recognized by its developers for what it is.

Technological advances could allow us to see more clearly into our own lives.
