“Obviously, our children, who have been playing with their computers since the age of five or six, don't have quite the same brain as those who were brought up on wooden or metal toys, whose brains are certainly atrophied by comparison.” ChildrenHas BeensAgeBrainFiveSixComputerOur ChildrenComparisonMetalsToys Author:Claude Vorilhon

“Although I'm not prepared to move up my prediction of a computer passing the Turing test by 2029, the progress that has been achieved in systems like Watson should give anyone substantial confidence that the advent of Turing-level AI is close at hand. If one were to create a version of Watson that was optimized for the Turing test, it would probably come pretty close.” IfsGivingShouldHas BeensHandsMovingLevelsProgressComputerTestsPreparedPassingVersionsPassingsPredictionsWatsonAdvent Book:How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed Source: How to Create a Mind: The Secret of Human Thought Revealed

“To many of us now, computers, silicon chips, data processing, cybernetics, and all the other innovations of the dawning high technology age are as mystifying as the workings of the combustion engine must have been when that first Model T rattled down Main Street, U.S.A. But as surely as America's pioneer spirit made us the industrial giant of the 20th century, the same pioneer spirit today is opening up on another vast front of opportunity, the frontier of high technology.” FirstsHas BeensMadeAgeTodayAmericaSpiritOpportunityTechnologyStreetsCenturyFrontsComputerModelsInnovationOpeningDataGiantsEngines20th CenturyChipsFrontiersPioneersProcessingSiliconOpening UpCyberneticsMain StreetCombustionHigh TechnologyPioneer SpiritModel T Author:Ronald Reagan
“The dreams of the past - whether it was public TV being rolled into the classroom to teach Spanish, or the film projectors or the videotapes or the computer-aided instruction drill systems - the hopes have been dashed in terms of technology having some big impact. The foundation, I think can play a unique role there. Now, our money is more to the teacher-effectiveness thing, and technology is No. 2, but I'll probably spend more money on the technology things.” ThinkingHas BeensPlayDreamBigsPastFilmTermRolesTeachTechnologyTeacherTvsComputerUniqueFoundationImpactInstructionClassroomMore MoneyEffectivenessDrillsBig ImpactProjectors Author:Bill Gates
“In the field of Artificial Intelligence there is no more iconic and controversial milestone than the Turing Test, when a computer convinces a sufficient number of interrogators into believing that it is not a machine but rather is a human. It is fitting that such an important landmark has been reached at the Royal Society in London, the home of British Science and the scene of many great advances in human understanding over the centuries. This milestone will go down in history as one of the most exciting.” BelieveHumansHas BeensImportantHomeUnderstandingNumbersCenturyFieldsSceneComputerTestsMachinesExcitingBritishLondonSufficientConvinceArtificial IntelligenceArtificialRoyalControversialFittingIconicMilestoneLandmarks Author:Kevin Warwick
