Artifical Intelligence Quotes

“In this era of fake news and paid news artificial intelligence is more and more used as a political tool to manipulate and dictate common people, through big data, biometric data, and AI analysis of online profiles and behaviors in social media and smart phones. But the days are not far when AI will also control the politicians and the media too.”
― Amit Ray

“A mind is a simulation that simulates itself.”
― Erol Ozan

“The world has been changing even faster as people, devices and information are increasingly connected to each other. Computational power is growing and quantum computing is quickly being realised. This will revolutionise artificial intelligence with exponentially faster speeds. It will advance encryption. Quantum computers will change everything, even human biology. There is already one technique to edit DNA precisely, called CRISPR. The basis of this genome-editing technology is a bacterial defence system. It can accurately target and edit stretches of genetic code. The best intention of genetic manipulation is that modifying genes would allow scientists to treat genetic causes of disease by correcting gene mutations. There are, however, less noble possibilities for manipulating DNA. How far we can go with genetic engineering will become an increasingly urgent question. We can’t see the possibilities of curing motor neurone diseases—like my ALS—without also glimpsing its dangers.
Intelligence is characterised as the ability to adapt to change. Human intelligence is the result of generations of natural selection of those with the ability to adapt to changed circumstances. We must not fear change. We need to make it work to our advantage.
We all have a role to play in making sure that we, and the next generation, have not just the opportunity but the determination to engage fully with the study of science at an early level, so that we can go on to fulfil our potential and create a better world for the whole human race. We need to take learning beyond a theoretical discussion of how AI should be and to make sure we plan for how it can be. We all have the potential to push the boundaries of what is accepted, or expected, and to think big. We stand on the threshold of a brave new world. It is an exciting, if precarious, place to be, and we are the pioneers.
When we invented fire, we messed up repeatedly, then invented the fire extinguisher. With more powerful technologies such as nuclear weapons, synthetic biology and strong artificial intelligence, we should instead plan ahead and aim to get things right the first time, because it may be the only chance we will get. Our future is a race between the growing power of our technology and the wisdom with which we use it. Let’s make sure that wisdom wins.”
― Stephen Hawking, Brief Answers to the Big Questions

“Captain, I'm fairly unique among artificial intelligences. I am FREE.
I work for you because I want to.
I fly your ship for you because I enjoy it.
I am compelled to accept orders only by my conscience.
This makes me an equal with the rest of your troops. They aren't hard-wired to obey you, yet they'll follow you to the ends of the Universe.”
― Howard Tayler, Resident Mad Scientist

“There are simply several different paths leading to high intelligence, and only some of these paths involve gaining consciousness. Just as airplanes fly faster than birds without ever developing feathers, so computers may come to solve problems much better than mammals without ever developing feelings. True, AI will have to analyse human feelings accurately in order to treat human illnesses, identify human terrorists, recommend human mates and navigate a street full of human pedestrians. But it could do so without having any feelings of its own. An algorithm does not need to feel joy, anger or fear in order to recognise the different biochemical patterns of joyful, angry or frightened apes.”

“Das Rechtschreibprogramm kann nicht denken [...]. Wenn Sie es dem Rechtschreibprogramm überlassen, über ihr Leben zu bestimmen, dann könnten Sie auch gleich würfeln.”
― J.M. Coetzee, Tagebuch eines schlimmen Jahres

“I would say inhuman, but your kind perfected the clockwork of murder long ago.”
― Amie Kaufman

“The target of the Jihad was a machine-attitude as much as the machines," Leto said. "Humans had set those machines to usurp our sense of beauty, our necessary selfdom out of which we make living judgments. Naturally, the machines were destroyed.”
― Frank Herbert, The Great Dune Trilogy

“Irresponsible Artifical Intelligence (IAI) is likely to be a more dangerous threat to the human race than nuclear arms.”
― Sukant Ratnakar, Open the Windows

“In the future, an executive will be supported by an abundance of computation power and powerful AI.”
― Jorn Lyseggen, Outside Insight: Navigating a World Drowning in External Data

“The Thunderhead had no arms to embrace. Even so, it could feel the beat of Greyson's heart and the precise temperature of his body as if it were right beside him. To lose that would be a cause of immeasurable sorrow. And so night after night, the Thunderhead silently monitored Greyson in every way it could. Because monitoring was the closest it could come to embracing.”
― Neal Shusterman, The Toll

“Artificial intelligence is not the future we fear; it is the present we must shape with ethical considerations and human values”

“Also astonishing,” replied Anatole, “is the realization that civilizational threats are now multiplying quickly. And they’re becoming more powerful and dangerous. So far, our containment strategies have only been temporary fixes to what appear to be permanent, wicked problems. I ask you all to look closely at the graphic. Stare at it. Can you see it? Can you see that those thirty circles are actually one thing?”

“While gathering here… while we are having intellectual conversations, an epic battle for the future has already begun. The victors of this battle will control the future of human civilization. This is not a World War. It is more than that—for the victors will decide what it means to be human and how we will live together. This is not hyperbole. It is our reality. And in this battle, no one will have the option of sitting on the sidelines. This battle will not be fought with guns or missiles. It will be fought in the hearts and minds of every human being on this planet. And there will be no conscientious objectors. We are all enlisted, whether we like it or not, in a war for the future—and the stakes are nothing less than the survival of our species.”

“There is a six-forked path ahead of us. Each path represents a possible future and a major paradigm shift for humanity. But we must act now. In 1924, Winston Churchill said, ‘The prevention of the supreme catastrophe ought to be the paramount object of all endeavor.’ History shows us what happens when we avoid, appease, and procrastinate while the seeds of that epic catastrophe grow stronger by the day.”
