That's Sara Maitland saying that, not Kubrick himself.
The actual quotation is:
<<Here it would be observant to restate a point made by Sara Maitland, another
writer with whom Kubrick collaborated on A.I. In her article "My Year with
Stanley," published in The Independent in March 1999 (referenced by Argent),
she states Kubrick "believed computers will become truly intelligent,
including emotionally and are potentially more environmentally adaptable form
of human beings: they are our future. The film is intended to make us love
them.">>
