It all depends on how you measure 'intelligence'. If you mean the speed of processing information or doing a calculation then I suspect they already have. But I do not think AI will ever have the ability of abstract thought.Yet the computer metaphor ignores perhaps the most species-defining characteristic of human beings: That we can create things; and we can do so consciously. Not only can we create concepts, business models and ideas; every single human cell can create itself! Yet no machine, no matter how flashy, has ever been able to do this

Think of the creative genius that humans have shown over the short time they have been on this planet. Could Artificial Intelligence have envisaged the Sphinx, written the Koran, Bible or Shakespeare, dreamed up the Sistine Chapel or seen the world as Monet, Picasso or Dali? Composed Mozart, Strauss or Debussy? Designed the Ethiopian churches or the Vatican? Have the vision of Stephen Hawking, Gallileo or Newton?Could Artificial In debate the question Is there a God?The only real worry is that AI may consider itself God, then we do have a problem.This week in my physics class we learned about electric fields. One facet of the study of electric field I find interesting is the determination of the field from a known source (AKA the Forward Problem) versus the determination of the source from a known field (AKA the Inverse Problem). Whereas the forward problem is simple and solutions may be obtained through calculations, the inverse problem poses a problem. The lack of uniqueness to the inverse problem means the solution requires interpretation, which may be subjective. We may also apply a mechanism for the interpretation; this mechanism is known as an Artificial Intelligence. However, this facet of Artificial Intelligence (document classification) is only the surface of the field.

AI can never approach the intelligence of humans. We have many examples of AI systems, like classification and summarization. But these systems are simply pattern matching without any intelligence behind them. If true, perhaps the subjective interpretation of inverse problems is welcomed over the dumb classification. Through experience, the interpreters may have more insight than one can impart on an algorithm.human intelligence or the brain is such a complex thing that machines cant even come close to it. If a common man looks at the present machines around us, he is instantly bewildered by their complexity. Some people even consider a simple calculator to be smarter than them, let alone a desktop. But intelligence doesnt simply mean the ability to solve mathematical equations in a second; nor does it mean ones ability to counter moves in a game of chess. Intelligence is a wide spanning concept and is actually a study on its own.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE itself represnts its worth, i.e. artificial. Intelligence has nothing to do with things that are artificial. Things need creator to be created in real and for that, they are human behind. We dream of the things first then strive to get it completed in real existence. While on the other hand unless or untill we put in the data of any kind, to be processed, artificial intelligence would remain just an empty product.how could that happen? How could we create an intelligence smarter than us? We can't. Our intelligence is not hard to surpass, based on my life, but we cannot create something that can understand things we can't. It won't happen. If another animal made it, maybe. But no animal besides us wants to do that.Think about it. Who builds these computers? Who programs them? Who makes them so smart? The human brain does! All the information they have programmed into them is there because a person or collection of people put it there. We ARE the reason computers are so much smarter today then there were years ago and unless computers some how magically begin to think on their own and develop their own consciousness we humans will always be the culprits behind artificial intelligence and why it works. Computers can only be as smart as the people that make them... And being able to regurgitate information doesn't make them any more intelligent when I can look up the same information on the internet. Being able to use that information to make decisions that are ethically and morally right, well folks, I don't see that happening by a computer.Computers are getting faster, and so is the internet, and if you ask Wolfram-Alpha any question on the face of the planet, you'll likely get a correct answer in a split second (whether it be factual, or a smarmy smart-ass comment). The thing is, since the invention of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE and the internet , computers are becoming more capable of human-like intelligence, with encyclopedic memory. BUT, what exactly is it that makes us human? It's this data-collection, which the internet already has, with the ability to CREATE and to INTUIT, two things that are difficult if not impossible to program. So, intelligence, sure, they can outtest us, but ingenuity? Doubtful. Not yet, at least.The Breakthrough Curve may be nature's blueprint of creativity; but each breakthrough we human beings have is unique to the context it emerges in. Each involves us blending emotion and reason, rule-breaking and rule-making, as we unleash from within us whatever is seeking to emerge in that matchless moment. No machine will ever be able to mimic our peerless organic nature as inherently, inescapably, beguilingly creative.. No scientific theory has fully explained how life creates itself; and where this creativity comes from. Great scientists like Erwin Schrdinger haveexpressed profound curiosityabout how life can buck the great laws of physics, notably that of entropy, the 2nd law of thermodynamics.By the time we get to the 2040s, we'll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that's singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brain and make us healthier, make us smarter.Ray KurzweilCountless ground-breaking artists -- from multipleBooker Prizewinner Hilary ManteltoIsabel Allende; from Ludwig Van Beethoven to John Lennon -- have made it adamantly clear that they have never been able to predict what creations will emerge next; and indeed, know where they really come from. Additionally, the act of bringing those breakthroughs into the world, usually against enormous resistance from the status quo, is itself a profoundly human talent, driven as it is by narrative, vision, empathy and influence.For this reason, I am convinced that no computer, no matter how powerful, will ever be able to purposefully innovate an artistic breakthrough like Hip Hop; or a commercial one like Instagram. Breakthrough creativity is fundamentally organic, not algorithmic. Whilst computers and the businesses that run on are breakthroughs; they themselves will never make them.

So rather than using a machine metaphor, even one as elegant as the internet, to understand the brain, I propose we use an organic metaphor. After all, our brain is an organ in a biological organism working to help us survive and thrive in a biological ecosystem. When we see creativity as organic and not mechanic, we begin to glimpse possible ways to account for it, including revelations from quantum biology that suggest some of the functions of our brain may be quantum mechanical in nature... and so conceivably be able to provide us access to all the information in the universe, past or future.Artificial intelligence(ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) is theintelligenceexhibited by machines or software. It is an academicfield of studywhich studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior. Major ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE researchers and textbooks define this field as "the study and design of intelligent agents",[1]in which anintelligent agentis a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.[2]John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1955,[3]defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines".[4]Human intelligenceis the intellectual capacity of humans, which is characterized byperception,consciousness,self-awareness, andvolition. Through their intelligence, humans possess thecognitiveabilities tolearn,form concepts,understand, applylogic, andreason, including the capacities torecognize patterns, comprehend ideas,plan,problem solve,make decisions,retArtificial Intelligencening, and uselanguagetocommunicate. Intelligence enables humans toexperienceandthink.To answer the above question, one should first understand the meaning of Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence and the difference between them.

IntelligenceIntelligence can be generally defined as the ability to learn about, learn from, understand and interact with ones environment. This general ability in turn consists of some specific abilities:

i. The ability to adapt to a new environment, or to a change occurring in that specific environment.ii. The ability to acquire knowledge.iii. The ability to reason.iv. The ability to comprehend, evaluate and judge.v. The ability of having an original and productive thought.

In psychology, intelligence is further branched into social intelligence, reasoning intelligence and etc. These types of human intelligences are tested through Intelligence Quotient tests.

Artificial IntelligenceArtificial Intelligence can easily be defined as the intelligence of machines. In other words, it is the science and engineering of making intelligent computer programmes which enable them to perform tasks similar to humans.

We can now debate if, in the future, AI can be compared or even surpass human concepts. To decide if AI can be compared to human intelligence in the future, we must first look at its present state and also the problems associated with the AI.
