Steve Wozniak – talks about technology, advancement, and artificial intelligence

Steve Wozniak was to talk at Purdue on 17 April 2019. The talk was held but on popular demand, the venue was changed to the 6005-seater Elliot Hall of Music. Steve said:

“We should strive for machines that can do what humans do, but I don’t think we’re ever going to make it. I use to believe we were going to make it.”

Computers are good but have their limitations. They cannot do strategic or deductive reasoning. The computer can differentiate between a dog and a human but the machine can’t say whether the dog is a picture or a real living dog.

Steve said:

“Even if you had a computer that could do a billion million things a second it would never solve a problem that way, you need an approach to get there quickly. Human brains have always been able to do that. So, I’m not worried about the human brain being replaced for those decisions.”
