Jurgen Schmidhuber is the head of the Artificial Intelligence Initiative at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia. In an email interview with Al Jazeera Net, he spoke with great enthusiasm about the advantages of one of them, which is language processing models such as Google Translate and Apple's Siri.

He refuted what many people say about the dominance of artificial intelligence applications over humans, and provided an explanation for the fierce attack to which these applications are subjected. He repeated what he had repeated since he was a teenager, that he hopes to “build an artificial intelligence that is smarter than him so that he can retire”
