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.

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.

The attribution of intelligence to machines, crowds of fragments, or other nerd deities obscures more than it illuminates. When people are told that a computer is intelligent, they become prone to changing themselves in order to make the computer appear to work better, instead of demanding that the computer be changed to become more useful.

The intelligence of AI is often interpreted as mirroring human capabilities, but the scale of data potentially ... places analysis well beyond human capabilities.

The next innovations will come through artificial intelligence. From then on, it will be the AI innovating. We need to think about our role as technologists and we need to think about the ramifications--positive and negative--and we need to transform ourselves as innovators.

The main lesson of thirty-five years of AI research is that the hard problems are easy and the easy problems are hard. The mental abilities of a four-year-old that we take for granted -- recognizing a face, lifting a pencil, walking across a room, answering a question -- in fact solve some of the hardest engineering problems ever conceived.... As the new generation of intelligent devices appears, it will be the stock analysts and petrochemical engineers and parole board members who are in danger of being replaced by machines. The gardeners, receptionists, and cooks are secure in their jobs for decades to come.

AI is not a passing trend. It's been with us for decades and is here to stay. As technology and science improve, so will the algorithms behind AI and the hardware that's running it. However, I still believe it must improve before it can become an inseparable and integral part of our lives.

The essence of artificial intelligence is massive, intuitive computing power: machines so smart that they can learn and become even smarter. If that sounds creepy, you are overthinking the concept. The machines are becoming quicker and more nimble, not sentient. There is no impending threat to humanity from computers that become bored and plot our doom. HAL, the computer villain from "2001: A Space Odyssey," is fictional.

A sinister threat is brewing deep inside the technology laboratories of Silicon Valley. Artificial Intelligence, disguised as helpful digital assistants and self-driving vehicles, is gaining a foothold -- and it could one day spell the end for mankind.

Artificial intelligence is a big buzzword for 2017. Which I just hate because I'm barely hanging onto my natural intelligence, let alone buddying up to an unseen smarty pants who can order a taxi or a pizza or a pizza to eat in a taxi if I just tell it to.

Pattern recognition and association make up the core of our thought. These activities involve millions of operations carried out in parallel, outside the field of our consciousness. If AI appeared to hit a brick wall after a few quick victories, it did so owing to its inability to emulate these processes.

What is most important about artificial intelligence as an area of specialization ... would be its ultimate objective of replicating semiotic systems. Indeed, while artificial intelligence can achieve at least some of its goals by building systems that simulate--and improve upon--the mental abilities that are deployed by human beings, it cannot secure its most treasured goals short of replication, if such a conception is correct. It therefore appears to be an ultimate irony that the ideal limit and final aim of artificial intelligence could turn out to be the development of systems capable of making mistakes.

Successes have created an AI halo effect that gives a reflected shine to any tech company that invokes the concept of artificial intelligence. This, in turn, can lead to breathless coverage that inflates the significance of what is often, at heart, just data analytics, or a Wi-Fi connection.

If we have very powerful AI systems, it's crucial that their goals are aligned with our goals. We don't want to create machines, which are first very excited about helping us, and then later get as bored with us as kids get with Legos.

That's one inherent limitation of human-like AI: Before you can program a computer, you have to understand how it's done yourself. And the human mind remains a mystery.

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are the keys to just about every aspect of life in the very near future: every sector, every business. If you run a business, its future depends on your ability to generate data about its activities, data that can then be fed into algorithms.
