John McCarthy: Citáty anglicky

“He who refuses to do arithmetic is doomed to talk nonsense.”

PROGRESS AND ITS SUSTAINABILITY http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/progress/ (1995 – )
1990s

“It's difficult to be rigorous about whether a machine really 'knows', 'thinks', etc., because we're hard put to define these things. We understand human mental processes only slightly better than a fish understands swimming.”

" The Little Thoughts of Thinking Machines http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/little.html", Psychology Today, December 1983, pp. 46–49. Reprinted in Formalizing Common Sense: Papers By John McCarthy, 1990, ISBN 0893915351
1980s

“When there's a will to fail, obstacles can be found.”

John McCarthy (1983), quoted in The Sayings of John McCarthy http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/sayings.html, at www-formal.stanford.edu, March 1, 2007. Also quoted in Keith Cary Curtis (1996) After the Software Wars. p. 167
1980s

“When we program a computer to make choices intelligently after determining its options, examining their consequences, and deciding which is most favorable or most moral or whatever, we must program it to take an attitude towards its freedom of choice essentially isomorphic to that which a human must take to his own.”

" Ascribing Mental Qualities to Machines http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/ascribing.html" (1979) Sect. 5.5: Free Will. Reprinted in Formalizing Common Sense: Papers By John McCarthy, 1990, ISBN 0893915351
1970s

“One can even conjecture that Lisp owes its survival specifically to the fact that its programs are lists, which everyone, including me, has regarded as a disadvantage.”

John McCarthy, " History of Lisp http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/lisp/lisp.html," 12 February 1979; republished at www-formal.stanford.edu.
1970s

“Whenever we write an axiom, a critic can say that the axiom is true only in a certain context. With a little ingenuity the critic can usually devise a more general context in which the precise form of the axiom doesn't hold. […] There simply isn't a most general context.”

" Generality in Artificial Intelligence http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/generality.html" (1971–1987), ACM Turing Award Lectures: The First Twenty Years, ACM Press, 1987, ISBN 0201077949
