Steve Jobs about geniuses, artificial intelligence and Mac in the Soviet Union

In 1985 Steve Jobs visited Svaneholm castle in Sweden, and during his speech touched upon the issue of the computer revolution impact on learning. As stated by Steve, in a room full of professors and teachers, the computer will soon forever change the education system.

According to Jobs, the new world of the computer device will be ubiquitous and will provide information anytime, anywhere. This revolutionary process has begun already in the 80s, in the universities and research centers, which previously had access to all the emerging Internet.

Jobs explained why he was jealous of Alexander the Great. Not because he has conquered the world, Steve wanted to do the same with the help of Apple's, but because his mentor was Aristotle himself.

"I can not ask a question to Aristotle. No, of course I can, but do not get an answer, "- joked Jobs during the meeting. "I hope that someday, when Aristotle once again returns to the earth, we will be able to bring his world into a computer, and once any student... can ask him a question and get an answer."

Like many others, Jobs believed in artificial intelligence. In his view, the software is more than a book can make us immortal. Once the human intellect or human intelligence, will become a commodity for which there is a huge demand. In a sense, we can observe it already in the market. At any time, with a pair of clicks, we can get the knowledge of experts in various fields and learn from them by means of distance learning courses.

Steve knew that in order for the computer to get some form of intelligence, it must be interactive and constantly get a huge amount of information. And for this it needed a network that extends the boundaries of the computer. That, in general, there have been many years later, thanks in part to the company and Apple.

Then, Apple engineers have created a voice assistant Siri. He, of course, is not ideal, but is reminiscent of an artificial intelligence that recognizes the issues and gives them quite worthy answers. Sometimes even joking. Some believe that such a large technology company like Apple, is now moving in the direction of deep learning of artificial intelligence, which should operate on the principle of our with you brain.

During the call, Steve mentioned, and that is going to visit the Soviet Union, as the dreams begin selling its territory Macintosh. Dreams that people in this country began to "think differently." In this connection, the rector of the University Hakan Vestlin asked Steve at the end of the meeting to bring his intelligence Mas Gorbachev.

But we are still very far from the software that would work like the human brain, and now, Naturally, we can not load the intelligence of Einstein and Tesla to your computer and ask questions of the world value. All that we now have, it is the search engines that can pick up our stuff for us to the topic of interest. And as we would like to ask a question right now Steve and get an answer ...
