Most people at CMU thought it was perfectly reasonable for the U.S. to invade Nicaragua. They somehow thought they owned it. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
Machines can do things cheaper and better. We’re very used to that in banking, for example. ATM machines are better than tellers if you want a simple transaction. They’re faster, they’re less trouble, they’re more reliable, so they put tellers out of work. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
Early AI was mainly based on logic. You’re trying to make computers that reason like people. The second route is from biology: You’re trying to make computers that can perceive and act and adapt like animals. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
Everybody right now, they look at the current technology, and they think, ‘OK, that’s what artificial neural nets are.’ And they don’t realize how arbitrary it is. We just made it up! And there’s no reason why we shouldn’t make up something else. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
I get very excited when we discover a way of making neural networks better – and when that’s closely related to how the brain works. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
We want to take AI and CIFAR to wonderful new places, where no person, no student, no program has gone before. Geoffrey Hinton Read Quote
