Stuart Russell Quote: “Aeronautical engineering texts do not define the goal of their field as making “machines that fly so exactly like pigeons that they can fool even other pigeons.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Alan Turing warned against making robots resemble humans:34 I certainly hope and believe that no great efforts will be put into making machines with the most distinctively human, but non-intellectual, characteristics such as the shape of the human body; it appears to me quite futile to make such attempts and their results would have something like the unpleasant quality of artificial flowers. Unfortunately, Turing’s warning has gone unheeded.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “At the rise of every technology innovation, people have been scared. From the weavers throwing their shoes in the mechanical looms at the beginning of the industrial era to today’s fear of killer robots, our response has been driven by not knowing what impact the new technology will have on our sense of self and our livelihoods. And when we don’t know, our fearful minds fill in the details.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Intelligent machines with this capability would be able to look further into the future than humans can. They would also be able to take into account far more information. These two capabilities combined lead inevitably to better real-world decisions. In any kind of conflict situation between humans and machines, we would quickly find, like Garry Kasparov and Lee Sedol, that our every move has been anticipated and blocked. We would lose the game before it even started.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “There’s only a limited amount that AI researchers can do to influence the evolution of global policy on AI. We can point to possible applications that would provide economic and social benefits; we can warn about possible misuses such as surveillance and weapons; and we can provide roadmaps for the likely path of future developments and their impacts. Perhaps the most important thing we can do is to design AI systems that are, to the extent possible, provably safe and beneficial for humans.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Even if the technology is successful, the transition to widespread autonomy will be an awkward one: human driving skills may atrophy or disappear, and the reckless and antisocial act of driving a car oneself may be banned altogether.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “This ability of a single box to carry out any process that you can imagine is called universality, a concept first introduced by Alan Turing in 1936.31 Universality means that we do not need separate machines for arithmetic, machine translation, chess, speech understanding, or animation: one machine does it all.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Instead of a goal, then, we could use a utility function to describe the desirability of different outcomes or sequences of states. Often, the utility of a sequence of states is expressed as a sum of rewards for each of the states in the sequence.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “As I have already argued, research on tool AI – those specific, innocuous applications such as game playing, medical diagnosis, and travel planning – often leads to progress on general-purpose techniques that are applicable to a wide range of other problems and move us closer to human-level AI.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “For example, a machine with basic reading capabilities will be able to read everything the human race has ever written by lunchtime, and then it will be looking around for something else to do.22.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “The potential benefits of fully autonomous vehicles are immense. Every year, 1.2 million people die in car accidents worldwide and tens of millions suffer serious injuries.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Human drivers in the United States suffer roughly one fatal accident per one hundred million miles traveled, which sets a high bar. Autonomous vehicles, to be accepted, will need to be much better than that: perhaps one fatal accident per billion miles, or twenty-five thousand years of driving forty hours per week.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “The pie of pride is also finite: only 1 percent of people can be in the top 1 percent on any given metric. If human happiness requires being in the top 1 percent, then 99 percent of humans are going to be unhappy, even when the bottom 1 percent has an objectively splendid lifestyle.60 It will be important, then, for our cultures to gradually down-weight pride and envy as central elements of perceived self-worth.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “For many purposes, we need to understand the world as having things in it that are related to each other, not just variables with values. For example, we might notice that a large truck ahead of us is reversing into the driveway of a dairy farm but a cow has got loose and is blocking the truck’s path. A factored representation is unlikely to be pre-equipped with the attribute TruckAheadBackingIntoDairyFarmDrivewayBlockedByLooseCow with value true or false.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Thus, the direct effects of technology work both ways: at first, by increasing productivity, technology can increase employment by reducing the price of an activity and thereby increasing demand; subsequently, further increases in technology mean that fewer and fewer humans are required. Figure 8 illustrates these developments.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “Bernoulli posited that bets are evaluated not according to expected monetary value but according to expected utility. Utility – the property of being useful or beneficial to a person – was, he suggested, an internal, subjective quantity related to, but distinct from, monetary value. In particular, utility exhibits diminishing returns with respect to money.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “The Global Learning XPRIZE competition, which started in 2014, offered $15 million for “open-source, scalable software that will enable children in developing countries to teach themselves basic reading, writing and arithmetic within 15 months.” Results from the winners, Kitkit School and onebillion, suggest that the goal has largely been achieved.”

Stuart Russell Quote: “A reasonable target for autonomous vehicles would be to reduce these numbers by a factor of ten.”
