“Now there are lots of great papers that have been written around using machine learning and neural network around generating new chemistry, but if you really look at them, if you actually get chemists to look at what's generated, they will say, ah, that's a joke, okay? They're not, they look good on paper when you really look at them, they don't.”

Pesenti: AI matching human intelligence is at least 20-30 years away
“And I don't believe anybody has a good view as to when will match human intelligence, but it's not going to happen in the next decade, not going to happen in the next two or three decades. It's going to take much longer.”
Pesenti in 2020: AI will not become accessible to non-programmers anytime soon
“I don't buy that AI will be accessible to people who don't have a programming background anytime soon, right? So, but it will be part of, you know, machine learning will be part of the tool set of Any programmers, but it would still be, you know, for kind of m…”
Pesenti: Deepfake detection will never be a solved problem
“It's never going to be a soft problem, right? So it's always going to be an arm race. I'm confident that we can actually identify part of it. I think we can act on it. We can label it in the case where it matters to users, but I'm also confident that it's goin…”

Pesenti in 2020: Large neural chatbots are not ready for consumer products
“It's not ready for prime consumption, let's be clear. You know, like these bots have lots of interesting side effects. You know, you cannot really control what they're gonna say. But they are quite entertaining, quite engaging, and a lot more human-like than y…”
