Sometimes it seems as though each new step towards AI, rather than producing something which everyone agrees is real intelligence, merely reveals what real intelligence is not.

About This Quote

This quote comes from Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates who was quoting the work of Stuart Russell. They were alluding to the fact that most people looking at artificial intelligence fail to realize that the real intelligence was not in the computer but in the human mind, which can think and understand and think in a different way than machines. It is this very capability which is unachievable through computers.
