I moved to MIT from Stanford in 1984 to teach, and became the founding director of MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab.

Sometimes I like them artificial and sometimes I like them real. And the reason is because sometimes I like a real close sound. And I like a very specific snare sound and I can't get that in the big room.

I am a fraud. I have cobbled together my personality from hundreds of little bits. I am simultaneously the most genuine and the most artificial person you will ever meet.

Nobody phrases it this way, but I think that artificial intelligence is almost a humanities discipline. It's really an attempt to understand human intelligence and human cognition.

We have to ask ourselves, 'What kind of world is it where a baby-food executive substitutes artificial flavoring and sugar for apple juice? What kind of businesses have we created when we even lie to infants?'

TV producers want ratings and are willing to do nearly anything to get them. They gin up artificial conflicts and create an urgency for even the most minor of economic data points.

We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.

I think there can be a positive sort of futurism even in a presentist society. But I think it's a kind of futurism that envisions augmenting human ability and intellect rather than creating some artificial machine intelligence that displaces us.

I think there is a little magic in the fact that I'm so totally real but look so artificial at the same time.

Our computers double in capability on time scales of only a few years. It's hardly outrageous to believe that we will successfully develop thinking machines within a handful of decades, or at most a century or two. If that happens, these artificial sentients will quickly leave us behind.

Money is more than a massively consensual IOU note. It is a piece of infrastructure and is as artificial as Interstate 5, NutraSweet or season three of 'Mad Men.'

Learning is the knowledge of that which is not generally known to others, and which we can only derive at second-hand from books or other artificial sources.

Learning is the knowledge of that which none but the learned know.

He is a judge, so I am not going to say anything disrespectful.

It is less artificial than his other comedies. The epigrams do not seem to have been added on like candied cherries on a cake.

Our Business Research Group survey of 55,000 corporate travelers around the world addressed many more issues, such as call-barring, data services and silent periods, and the interesting question for long-haul flights as to what determines a 'night' period, ... It might be easy on north-south routes, such as Europe to South Africa, but much more difficult on Asia-Europe flights. It may be an 1100 departure from Tokyo to Frankfurt, but we all know the cabin blinds are down and lights out within two to three hours of departure, thereby constituting an artificial 'night' period.
