Quotation of the Day for May 26, 2013



"I do not expect this to happen in the very near future, but I do believe that by 2045 machines will be able to do if not any work that humans can do, then a very significant fraction of the work that humans can do....Does the future need us? By this I mean to ask, if machines are capable of doing almost any work humans can do, what will humans do? I have been getting various answers to this question, but I find none satisfying."

- Moshe Y. Vardi, from The Consequences of Machine Intelligence, in The Atlantic.
