In A.I., the holy grail was how do you generate internal representations. — Geoffrey Hinton Holy Copy Share Image
Humans are still much better than computers at recognizing speech. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
I feel slightly embarrassed by being called 'the godfather.' — Geoffrey Hinton Being Copy Share Image
The brain sure as hell doesn't work by somebody programming in rules. — Geoffrey Hinton Brain Copy Share Image
I refuse to say anything beyond five years because I don't think we can see much beyond five years. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Early AI was mainly based on logic. You're trying to make computers that reason like people. The second route is from biology:… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
The question is, can we make neural networks that are 1,000 times bigger? And how can we do that with existing computation? — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
I think we should think of AI as the intellectual equivalent of a backhoe. It will be much better than us at… — Geoffrey Hinton Intellectual Copy Share Image
In the long run, curiosity-driven research just works better... Real breakthroughs come from people focusing on what they're excited about. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Once your computer is pretending to be a neural net, you get it to be able to do a particular task by… — Geoffrey Hinton Computer Copy Share Image
I get very excited when we discover a way of making neural networks better - and when that's closely related to how… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you'll be… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
The role of radiologists will evolve from doing perceptual things that could probably be done by a highly trained pigeon to doing… — Geoffrey Hinton Change Copy Share Image
I think people need to understand that deep learning is making a lot of things, behind-the-scenes, much better. Deep learning is already… — Geoffrey Hinton Artificial intelligence Copy Share Image
Most people in AI, particularly the younger ones, now believe that if you want a system that has a lot of knowledge… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
My father was an entomologist who believed in continental drift. In the early '50s, that was regarded as nonsense. It was in… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
I have always been convinced that the only way to get artificial intelligence to work is to do the computation in a… — Geoffrey Hinton Artificial intelligence Copy Share Image
The paradigm for intelligence was logical reasoning, and the idea of what an internal representation would look like was it would be… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Now that neural nets work, industry and government have started calling neural nets AI. And the people in AI who spent all… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Machines can do things cheaper and better. We're very used to that in banking, for example. ATM machines are better than tellers… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Deep learning is already working in Google search and in image search; it allows you to image-search a term like 'hug.' It's… — Geoffrey Hinton Artificial intelligence Copy Share Image
I got fed up with academia and decided I would rather be a carpenter. — Geoffrey Hinton Academia Copy Share Image
I think the way we're doing computer vision is just wrong. — Geoffrey Hinton Computer Copy Share Image
My main interest is in trying to find radically different kinds of neural nets. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Backhoes can save us a lot of digging. But of course, you can misuse it. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
I am betting on Google's team to be the epicenter of future breakthroughs. — Geoffrey Hinton Betting Copy Share Image
In a sensibly organised society, if you improve productivity, there is room for everybody to benefit. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
In the brain, you have connections between the neurons called synapses, and they can change. All your knowledge is stored in those… — Geoffrey Hinton Brain Copy Share Image
The pooling operation used in convolutional neural networks is a big mistake, and the fact that it works so well is a… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Any new technology, if it's used by evil people, bad things can happen. But that's more a question of the politics of… — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
My view is we should be doing everything we can to come up with ways of exploiting the current technology effectively. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
Most people at CMU thought it was perfectly reasonable for the U.S. to invade Nicaragua. They somehow thought they owned it. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
We want to take AI and CIFAR to wonderful new places, where no person, no student, no program has gone before. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
The brain has about ten thousand parameters for every second of experience. We do not really have much experience about how systems… — Geoffrey Hinton Brain Copy Share Image
To deal with a 14-dimensional space, visualize a 3-D space and say 'fourteen' to yourself very loudly. Everyone does it. — Geoffrey Hinton Copy Share Image
