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.

In a sensibly organised society, if you improve productivity, there is room for everybody to benefit.
Interpretation
Improving productivity can lead to collective benefits for all members of society.
This quote emphasizes the idea that in a well-structured society, increasing productivity doesn't just foster individual success but creates opportunities for the entire community to thrive. It suggests that advancements and improvements should ideally lead to shared prosperity, rather than benefiting a select few.
In practice
During a business seminar to emphasize teamwork and collaboration.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I believe in nothing here, except a handful of people, a few ideas, and the fact that one cannot arrest movement.
The machine will grind you down, but the machine is not bigger than the imagination. Rome fell in a day. We know this.
The real problems of our planet are not economic or technical, they are philosophical. The philosophy of unbridled materialism is being challenged by events.
I am life that wants to live, in the midst of life that wants to live.
We are part of a symbiotic relationship with something which disguises itself as an extra-terrestrial invasion so as not to alarm us.
Thought is more than a right - it is the very breath of man. Whoever fetters thought attacks man himself. To speak, to write, to publish, are things, so far as the right is concerned, absolutely identical. They are the ever-enlarging circles of intelligence in action; they are the sonorous waves of thought.
