The role of radiologists will evolve from doing perceptual things that could probably be done by a highly trained pigeon to doing far more cognitive things.

I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a way similar to the human brain. That is the goal I have been pursuing. We are making progress, though we still have lots to learn about how the brain actually works.

What this quote means
Artificial intelligence should be modeled after the human brain to be successful.
Geoffrey Hinton emphasizes the importance of mimicking human brain functions in the development of artificial intelligence. He acknowledges the progress made in this field while recognizing the ongoing challenges and the need for a deeper understanding of brain mechanisms.

In the long run, curiosity-driven research just works better... Real breakthroughs come from people focusing on what they're excited about.

In science, you can say things that seem crazy, but in the long run, they can turn out to be right. We can get really good evidence, and in the end, the community will come around.

Most people in AI, particularly the younger ones, now believe that if you want a system that has a lot of knowledge in, like an amount of knowledge that would take millions of bits to quantify, the only way to get a good system with all that knowledge in it is to make it learn it. You are not going to be able to put it in by hand.

People will not die. Isn't this the creed of the new culture? People will be absorbed in streams of information. I know nothing about this. Computers will die. They're dying in their present form. They're just about dead as distinct units.
