“People have developed new types of radios and amplifiers and electronic circuits using this type of machine learning, and they've actually gotten patents for them. So they work better than the ones that were developed by human engineers. They're typically completely different. So the things that no one would ever think of, but they're good enough that the US patent office actually granted them patents for these things.”

Domingos: Doctors Gatekeep Medical AI to Prevent Automating Their Own Jobs
“In the particular case of medicine, it's not used more already because, of course, the doctors are also the gatekeepers Of the system, and they're not very interested in replacing themselves or their job that they like best by machines.”
Domingos: AI Will Plateau Rather Than Experiencing Infinite Runaway Intelligence Growth
“And I think they will be in the case of AI, but I don't think we're going to see this, you know, infinite growth that, you know, goes completely beyond you know, what humans can imagine.”

Domingos: A Venture Capital Fund Appointed an Algorithm as a Voting Director
“For example, there's this venture fund recently that announced that one of their directors is now going to be an algorithm. There's seven directors on the board, and one of them's an algorithm. So their algorithm doesn't decide anything all by itself, but it d…”
