Picture Quotes Up to a point, it is better to just let the snags [bugs] be there than to spend such time in design that there are none. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Instead of trying to produce a programme to simulate the adult mind, why not rather try to produce one which simulates the child's? If this were then subjected to an appropriate course of education one would obtain the adult brain. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes We may hope that machines will eventually compete with men in all purely intellectual fields. But which are the best ones to start with? Many people think that a very abstract activity, like the playing of chess, would be best. It can also be maintained that it is best to provide the machine with the best sense organs that money can buy, and then teach it to understand and speak English. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity. The activity of the intuition consists in making spontaneous judgements which are not the result of conscious trains of reasoning... The exercise of ingenuity in mathematics consists in aiding the intuition through suitable arrangements of propositions, and perhaps geometrical figures or drawings. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes There is, however, one feature that I would like to suggest should be incorporated in the machines, and that is a 'random element.' Each machine should be supplied with a tape bearing a random series of figures, e.g., 0 and 1 in equal quantities, and this series of figures should be used in the choices made by the machine. This would result in the behaviour of the machine not being by any means completely determined by the experiences to which it was subjected, and would have some valuable uses when one was experimenting with it. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes In attempting to construct such (artificially intelligent) machines we should not be irreverently usurping His (God's) power of creating souls, any more than we are in the procreation of children,” Turing had advised. “Rather we are, in either case, instruments of His will providing mansions for the souls that He creates. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes A man provided with paper, pencil, and rubber, and subject to strict discipline, is in effect a universal machine. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The Exclusion Principle is laid down purely for the benefit of the electrons themselves, who might be corrupted (and become dragons or demons) if allowed to associate too freely. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes If a machine is expected to be infallible, it cannot also be intelligent. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes Bell Labs Cafeteria, New York, 1943: His high pitched voice already stood out above the general murmur of well-behaved junior executives grooming themselves for promotion within the Bell corporation. Then he was suddenly heard to say: "No, I'm not interested in developing a powerful brain. All I'm after is just a mediocre brain, something like the President of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company." —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes Do you know why people like violence? It is because it feels good. Humans find violence deeply satisfying. But remove the satisfaction, and the act becomes hollow. —Alan TuringWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
