Mgr. — PHONE 8 o ./ o o o How smart can * machines be? • _ o V. ■ Back in the twenties there was a stage play about mechanical men, who repaid their creators by trying to wreck civilization. “Robots” have made people uneasy ever since. How smart can a machine be? At General Electric we’re beginning < to find out. For some years now we’ve been working with machines ( that come startlingly close to thinking like men. o ° : r Can they outsmart men? Just the opposite: they make men even 1 , smarter by taking over routine mental chores and freeing men for the creative thinking only human minds can encompass. A jet engine used to be designed by trial and error. You had to build ° it first, or a costly model, to find out how it would work. Now, an 3 electronic computer helps solve long and complex jet development prob lems in advance. In 15 minutes it goes through 8 million mathematical ( calculations and comes up with an answer that would take a mathema tician 7 years. ’ • • o * c < In management, “hunch” is giving way to fact. Electronic data processing machines zip through head-spinning statistics on market changes, product design and income trends to come up with the answers ' General Electric managers need to make sound decisions, not hopeful * < % A guesses. Their ability to digest tons of data in a hurry may one day hefy the farmer by making weather predictions more accurate. They may shed new light on the reasons for boom and bust. or Machines that can read, write, do arithmetic, measure, feel, remember,' now take the load off men’s minds, just as machines have eased the’ ° burden on our backs. But these fantastic machines still depend on people to design and build and guide and use them. What they replace hi drudgery — not people. Don’t worry; smart though they are, machines will never be as smart as people. Not while people are smart enough to think them up, smart enough to let them do a man’s drudging work. ° 0 — O o ___ ^ Progress is our most important product 6ENERALELECTRIC r O o ‘ tf* - ■. o o . ) o
