“When AI happens, it’s going to be a lot of computation, not so much … clever algorithms,” says Google co-founder Larry Page. Given the size of DNA (~600 MB compressed), the algorithms of the brain are “probably not that complicated.”

“To do the perfect search, you could ask any query and it would give you the perfect answer, and that would be artificial intelligence, based on everything being on the Web…. We’re lucky to be working incrementally closer to that…. I don’t think it’s that far off as people think.”
