“The key to artificial intelligence has always been the representation.”

“To be intelligent, you have to have a predictive model of the world.”

“The path to strong AI is to reverse-engineer the neocortex.”

“Anything that you can do, a machine will be able to do.”

“The future of making intelligent machines is to understand how the brain thinks.”

“There's no little man in the brain, and the final stage of perception is not a picture.”

“We're building machines that are going to be more intelligent than we are. That's a fact.”

“The brain doesn't compute answers, it retrieves them from memory.”

“We don't really see the world as it is. We see a model of the world that our brain creates for us.”

“Your brain is constantly making predictions about what you're going to see, hear, and feel next.”

“The details of the brain are not that important. It's the principles of operation that are important.”

“The neocortex is not a single organ. It's a system of hierarchical regions.”

“Intelligence is the capacity to create a model of the world and to make predictions about it.”

“Old ideas are not wrong, they are just incomplete.”

“Creativity is just a byproduct of having a predictive model.”
