Выступая перед представителями Американской ассоциации содействия развитию науки (The American Association for the Advancement of Science), Пейдж отметил, что искусственный интеллект одно время был в загоне, но в принципе идея осуществима и в данном направлении уже ведутся разработки: «Я бы предположил, что, когда искусственный интеллект наконец будет создан, он потребует огромного объема вычислений. Заметьте, не каких-то мудреных алгоритмов, а именно вычислений, и в громадных количествах. Взгляните для примера на структуру ДНК человека в сжатом виде она весит всего лишь 600 мегабайт. Иными словами, значительно меньше любой современной операционной системы, будь то Linux или Windows. Стало быть, резонно предположить, что ментальные алгоритмы человека не так уж сложны. У нас в Google есть специалисты, уже занимающиеся построением искусственного интеллекта, причем в крупных масштабах. <.. > Не думаю, что они так уж далеки от цели»(14). Подобно человеческому интеллекту, ИИ нарабатывает знания, базируясь на опыте и логике. «Система способна использовать для этого все доступные сигналы,P объясняет Джефф Хьюбер, старший вице-президент Google по разработкам,P и самостоятельно изучать корреляционные связи между ними»(15)
