It would be great to have every engineer have at least some amount of knowledge of machine learning.

We want to build systems that can generalize to a new task. Being able to do things with much less data and with much less computation is going to be interesting and important.
Interpretation
What this quote means
The quote highlights the importance of creating efficient systems that can learn and adapt with minimal resources.
Jeff Dean emphasizes the significance of developing systems that not only perform well on specific tasks but also possess the ability to generalize their understanding to new tasks. This adaptability, combined with efficiency in data use and computational power, will be crucial for advancing technology and artificial intelligence.

All quotes →Previously, we might use machine learning in a few sub-components of a system. Now we actually use machine learning to replace entire sets of systems, rather than trying to make a better machine learning model for each of the pieces.

Some people are happy to work in a particular domain or some field of computer science for years, and years. I personally like to kind of move around every few years, just to learn about new areas.

I like working in small teams where people on the team have very different skills than what I have and that banter back and forth, and the ability to build something collectively that none of you could do individually is actually a really useful and valuable thing.

Supervised learning works so well when you have the right data set, but ultimately unsupervised learning is going to be a really important component in building really intelligent systems - if you look at how humans learn, it's almost entirely unsupervised.

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.
