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.

The Analytical Engine has no pretensions whatever to originate anything. It can do whatever we know how to order it to perform. It can follow analysis; but it has no power of anticipating any analytical relations or truths. Its province is to assist us to making available what we are already acquainted with.

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.

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.

It was one thing to use computers as a tool, quite another to let them do your thinking for you.

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

If our era is the next Industrial Revolution, as many claim, AI is surely one of its driving forces.

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

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

Baidu's AI is incredibly strong, and the team is stacked up and down with talent; I am confident AI at Baidu will continue to flourish. After Baidu, I am excited to continue working toward the AI transformation of our society and the use of AI to make life better for everyone.

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

Even though chess isn't the toughest thing that computers will tackle for centuries, it stood as a handy symbol for human intelligence. No matter what human-like feat computers perform in the future, the Deep Blue match demands an indelible dot on all timelines of AI progress.

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

What's happened with society is that we have created these devices, computers, which already can register and process huge amounts of information, which is a significant fraction of the amount of information that human beings themselves, as a species, can process.

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

We want to take AI and CIFAR to wonderful new places, where no person, no student, no program has gone before.

I'd rather see artificial intelligence than no intelligence.

Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman 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.
