Marvin Minsky

The goal of AI is to understand intelligence, not just to build intelligent machines.

The brain is a self-organizing system.

The mind is a collection of problem-solving strategies.

We need to break down intelligence into smaller, manageable parts.

The brain is just a meat machine.

Common sense is not a simple thing. It's a huge collection of little things.

The problem is not to make the computer think like a human, but to make it think at all.

We don't really understand how the mind works, but we're making progress.

The future of AI is not about making machines that are smarter than us, but about making machines that help us be smarter.

Learning is not just about accumulating facts, but about building new ways to think.

The biggest obstacle to progress is often our own assumptions.

We should not be afraid of machines that can think. We should be afraid of machines that cannot.

The mind is not a single entity, but a society of interacting agents.

Creativity is just a fancy word for making new connections between old ideas.

The most important thing is to keep asking questions.

Don't be afraid to be wrong. It's how you learn.

The real challenge is not to build intelligent machines, but to understand intelligence itself.

Our brains are not perfect, but they are incredibly adaptable.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

Thinking is not a magical process. It's a collection of computational tricks.
