D. Scott Phoenix Quotes

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of how to get machines to do the things they do in the movies.

You may not realize it, but artificial intelligence is all around us.

I'm fascinated by artificial intelligence.

Robots have gotten steadily more capable, but humans' expectations that robots should have minds keeps biting robot developers.

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

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.

Today, there are industries employing hundreds of thousands of engineers creating artificial intelligence.

The only path to build intelligent machines is to enable it with powerful visual intelligence, just like what animals did in evolution.

Artificial intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men.

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.

AI does not keep me up at night. Almost no one is working on conscious machines. Deep learning algorithms, or Google search, or Facebook personalization, or Siri or self driving cars or Watson, those have the same relationship to conscious machines as a toaster does to a chess-playing computer.

When I was building robots in the early 1990s, the problems of voice recognition, image understanding, VOIP, even touchscreen technologies - these were robotics problems.

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.

There is huge demand for artificial intelligence technologies.

The real goal of AI is to understand and build devices that can perceive, reason, act, and learn at least as well as we can.

Don't expect to be able to upload your cat's brain into your Roomba any time soon.

I think what's really amazing is that given the scale of the web and getting the compute power we have today, we're starting to see things that appear intelligent but actually aren't semantically intelligent.

We wanted to solve robot problems and needed some vision, action, reasoning, planning, and so forth. We even used some structural learning, such as was being explored by Patrick Winston.

Robotics are beginning to cross that line from absolutely primitive motion to motion that resembles animal or human behavior.

Artificial intelligence is growing up fast, as are robots whose facial expressions can elicit empathy and make your mirror neurons quiver.

Is artificial intelligence less than our intelligence?

There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe.

Robots are interesting because they exist as a real technology that you can really study - you can get a degree in robotics - and they also have all this pop-culture real estate that they take up in people's minds.

Artificial intelligence is always 20 years away.

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