ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE QUOTES II

Machines will follow a path that mirrors the evolution of humans. Ultimately, however, self-aware, self-improving machines will evolve beyond humans' ability to control or even understand them.
RAY KURZWEIL, Scientific American, June 2010
The intelligent machine is an evil genie, escaped from its bottle.
BRIAN HERBERT & KEVIN J. ANDERSON, The Butlerian Jihad
We call ourselves Homo sapiens--man the wise--because our intelligence is so important to us. For thousands of years, we have tried to understand how we think: that is, how a mere handful of matter can perceive, understand, predict, and manipulate a world far larger and more complicated than itself. The field of artificial intelligence, or AI, goes further still: it attempts not just to understand but also to build intelligent entities.
STUART J. RUSSELL, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
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 accelerate's people's heavy dependence on artifacts.
MAX BRAMER, Artificial Intelligence: An International Perspective
Once upon a time ... the only autonomous intelligences we humans knew of were us humans. We thought then that if humankind ever devised another intelligence that it would be the result of a huge project ... a great mass of silicon and ancient transistors and chips and circuit boards ... a machine with lots of networking circuits, in other words, aping--if you will pardon the expression--the human brain in form and function. Of course, AIs did not evolve that way. They sort of slipped into existence when we humans were looking the other way.
DAN SIMMONS, The Rise of Endymion
A year spent in artificial intelligence is enough to make one believe in God.
