Jeff Hawkins
Quote from "On Intelligence":
"Intelligent machines will range from simple, single application to very powerful superhuman intelligent systems, but unless we go out of our way to make them humanlike, they won't be."
People will go out of their ways to make them humanlike. That's probably the first thing people will try to do as soon as machines become capable of being "humanlike". I think Hawkins understands this as well, he just doesn't want to scare the technologically-retarded crowd.
