quotations about artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is a two-edged sword. On the one hand, it allows us to create intelligent artifacts with human-like perception and cognition. On the other hand, it accelerates people's heavy dependence on artifacts.

This is just the beginning as AI becomes a new member of the team. And visionary HR leaders will increasingly consider chatbots another co-worker, helping to orient and train them, and assisting the rest of the team in understanding how to work with them. The end result will be more time for employees to do what makes them uniquely human such as: complex problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity, the top three skills deemed essential By the World Economic Forum.

Artificial intelligence is fueled by data. Pick an approach, and you'll find data at the center. Why? Because large volumes of complete data sets are needed to accurately recognize significant patterns of behavior with people, events or other characterizations, and that's what AI is all about.

Our intelligence is what makes us human, and AI is an extension of that quality.

AI is already part of the operations within many companies we interact with every day, from Apple's Siri to how Uber dispatches drivers to the way Facebook arranges its Newsfeed. In fact, Facebook is making research into AI a priority, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently stating that one of his goals this year is to "code" a personal assistant to "help run his life."

Today's AI fills the computational gaps in human ability, and where computers fail to exercise executive function, humans are standing by to hold the flight controls, a symbiotic relationship and an augmentation of human endeavor that undermines the tale perpetuated by those with a flair for the dramatic. Guarding against a robotic uprising is prudent, but such Terminator-esque imagery distracts from the positive influence of today's AI. Climate change, rising sea levels, unsustainable population growth, pollution, Kanye West, disease, war, greed and willful ignorance could well combine forces to end humanity, but if AI is to have a role in that play, it's not the role of bad guy. It's that of a beacon that guides Earth to safety.

The AI that I know is a branch of computational mathematics. That's really all there is to it: math. And it's not even that difficult. Compared with the equations of theoretical physics, which is what my university thesis was on, computational math is not that complicated. It was basically invented in 1936 by Turing, so it is only 80 years old. But look how it has changed the world.

Almost every time people have played with the idea of an AI and what it will look like, and what it means for it to be scary, it's been tremendously anthropomorphized. You have this thing -- it comes, it walks at you, and it sounds like you're probably going to die, or it made it very clear that there's some chance your life is in jeopardy. The thing that scares me the most about that is not the likelihood that in the next five years something like this will happen to us, but the likelihood that it will not. Over the course of the next five years, as companies continue to get better and better at building these technologies, the public at large will not understand what it is that is being done with their data, what they're giving away, and how they should be scared of the ways that AI is already playing in and with their lives and information.

Artificial General Intelligence will revolutionize humanity, its application determines if this is going to be a positive or negative impact; this is much in the same way that splitting the atom is seen as a double-edged sword.

Ever noticed how DeepMind or Watson challenge and surpass human understanding? Well, these seemingly intelligent engines are not as intelligent as they appear. See, they were developed for specificities and cannot figure out anything outside of what they are programmed for.

Do we need to worry about the runaway "artificial general intelligence" that goes out of control and takes over the world? Yes -- but perhaps not for another 15 or 20 years. There are justified fears that rather than being told what to learn and complementing our capabilities, AIs will start learning everything there is to learn and know far more than we do. Though some people, such as futurist Ray Kurzweil, see us using AI to evolve together, others, such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking, fear that AI will usurp us. We really don't know where all this will go.

Artificial intelligence is capable of many things, and now it looks like AI could potentially given screenwriters a run for their money. There is a movie that has been launched on Kickstarter called Impossible Things, and while movies seeking funding isn't exactly new, what makes this project so unique is that the script was co-written by AI.

We can't really predict what might happen next because superintelligent A.I. may not just think faster than humans, but in ways that are completely different. It may have motivations -- feelings, even -- that we cannot fathom. It could rapidly solve the problems of aging, of human conflict, of space travel. We might see a dawning utopia. Or we might see the end of the universe.

What's undeniable is how the possibility of AI stirs the imagination of the public. This is evident in the science fiction and entertainment we consume. We may have strong AI in a couple of years, or it might take a couple of centuries. What's certain is that we're unlikely to ever give up on the pursuit.

It does not matter how fast the computer is, how much memory it has, or how complex and high-level the programming language. The Jeopardy and Chess playing champs Watson and Deep Blue fundamentally work the same as your microwave. Put simply, a strict symbol-processing machine can never be a symbol-understanding machine.

Despite how it's portrayed in books and movies, artificial intelligence is not a synthetic brain floating in a case of blue liquid somewhere. It is an algorithm -- a mathematical equation that tells a computer what functions to perform.... In the world of AI, the Holy Grail is to discover the single algorithm that will allow machines to understand the world -- the digital equivalent of the Standard Model that lets physicists explain the operations of the universe.
