From my standpoint, I do find it possible for AI to reach the same level of intelligence as humans, although it may have limitations, but with advanced technology and adaptation, AI could excel accuracy and speed within calculation and information far more superior than humans. One weakness AI would have would be having the ability to think creatively and expand it's curiosity through knowledge. Us humans are capable of infinite thoughts, curiosities and creativity in our minds where AI can have complexity on imitating. However we cannot be deceived by the fact that there is no possibility that AI could ever reach or go beyond human intelligence because it can be possible. As AI could expand their given intelligence and emotions influenced by humans and the environment, there is a chance of adaptation in the intelligence of an AI.

AI technology is an incredibly impressive thing and can be incredibly similar to human intelligence, and I think it would be narrow minded to say that it will never be able to be just like the human brain. I believe that if we can develop a machine that can have enough responses to certain stimuli, it can exactly mimic a human brain. However, this has not happened yet and I don't believe it is a good idea because if technology got to this point, it could very well take over places where we are. It is a scary thing to think about.

# data[].attributes.body
Seeing the development in the past 15 years of computer intelligence evolving is evidence behind the statement that they will be able to reach human intelligence eventually. Intelligence is considered the ability to apply the knowledge that we have to perform better in the environment that we are in, and I think this is possible for AI. I think they will also have the ability to make better rational decisions than humans considering the fact that they can now count numbers and do math faster than any human being. Maybe they can form the AI to exclude the negative aspects of the human brain and only put in the positive.

Yes, and no… yes because at some point in time, whether it's in 2 years or 2 centuries there will be an artificial intelligence that will become the hallmark of intelligence. And although it might be classified as equal or superior, to human intelligence, I don’t think I could ever classify it as such. Human intelligence is the idea of the intelligence of humans, not a robot, not a plant, computer or a giraffe. What I classify as human intelligence, is the idea that each individual is wildly different, we are in control of our minds, we don't need a programmed update to improve software, we do that ourselves, we are constantly improving ourselves, we constantly gather information. With that in mind I think the biggest difference between humans and computers is that we learn, and individually learn differently. With every move, thought, decision we make we learn. And yes, artificial intelligence is made by humans, but a robot could never just have those crazy bathroom thoughts that a lot of us get, they would never know the actual significance of things, the feeling of your heart pound with adrenaline in times of excitement. I think more importantly should we allow such a thing to be a daily amenity such as an ipad or tv, or live amongst us. Some would make the argument that when we have higher intelligence, we could learn beyond the trivial stuff not having it as such of a need. However I highly disagree, self-driving cars are a thing that has been becoming more popular in recent years. One day it will be a thing of the past to have a normal, person driven car. Rolls Royce has already created a car that's to be released in 2035 that has no steering wheel. https://youtu.be/GgriNm5S2WE. And in theory it sounds like such a cool and innovative idea, however The idea that we can just cut corners, no need to learn to drive, no need to learn to change your oil, so on and so forth, when we need not learn anything what do we do then. What would make living so interesting, what would be the point of living each and everyday with the IQ of a 2 year old, not having learnt anything because it's not necessary. Not to mention, artificial intelligence is programmed by people, people programming can be flawed, or mistaken. What would we do if one day we all wake up and realize this is a big irreversible mistake. it's been “proven” that happiness is a chemical in the brain, dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, and endorphins. But if we tried to give a computer emotions, what would that look like, and how would we know if it truly is happy, it might put a smile on its face, but that's a simple common reaction, it holds no weight to it. So do I think society one day will classify an artificial intelligence, equal or superior to human intelligence, yes. Do I personally think so, no. Do I think we should allow such a thing to trickle into society, no. Do I think they're gonna take over the world, I sure hope not.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology and artificial intelligence has been a rapidly developing industry for the past few decades, but will A.I ever be able to measure up to or surpass human intelligence? Personally, I believe that one day in the far future, robots and other forms of A.I will be able to have intelligence similar to humans. If we look at what we determine to be human intelligence, a lot of it revolves on the ability to learn. Artificial intelligence is evolving at such a rapid pace, with engineers striving to give it more human qualities in order to improve life for humans, that this is an inevitable outcome. It is even predicted that in the near future, robots will have some legal rights and protections from abuse. There are many factors to the ever rapid growth of technology in our society, personally I believe that artificial intelligence will develop to the point of human equivalence.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion computers are already very close to reaching human intelligence. I don't know for certain if we will ever let that happen but it is a possiblity. Some people are already trying to make human like robots. The more human abilites we teach them, even if its not all of our abilites, they could become smart enough to give themselves new abilites on their own and end up reaching full human like intelligence. The more these computers learn new things, the more they will figure out what they are and possibly, what they could do. Now obviously this is just a conspiracy and there is a good chance it will never happen. However, I do believe there is also a chance it could be possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I was reading about how some says no because you have to program the computer. So, it would never happen. But I have a different perspective on this.
Please, I really do not mean to be condescending on this debate. But we are almost there already. Computers, some, can almost already reach human intelligence. Which I would say, I might push to say that some, already surpassed us.
I am not referring to any conspiracy theory out there. I am talking about the programming that program itself. Which is actually what happen with the AI chest computer. If you look deeper into it. The only programming was the rules for chest and a way to store his mistake from probability. Each time the machine was losing, it was learning human behaviour.  And Learned from it. Discover patterns of the game.  Apply exception, and boom. The difference between the computer and the human player is the computer don’t get tired. Doesn’t get brain fog.

We all compere AI intelligence to our computer our printer that doesn’t work. Or that can’t communique with each other.  But those specifics examples are human error. Because WE program compatibility that fail, the based programming is the same. We already have ads specifics targeted to us from conversation heard around our phone or from our internet search.

Take away restriction from one “company” to another, you will see how much less trouble we would have in terms of device communicating. But we would be open season for hackers.
They had two computers, talking to each other, learning from each other. They reprogram themselves, using their own languages.  I present you Bob and Alice from Facebook and Google also shut down two other computer that did the same, different language.  Those weren’t “program” because we are at a point where the computer can add date to his own stream. I would not be surprise to see a computer programming a computer and It will be interesting to see.  Do I believe they are going to take over the world?   No.

# data[].attributes.body
Intelligence when defined as "our ability to apply the knowledge that we have to perform better in the environment we are in" gives way for a clear path for AI to compete with. If technology just needs to apply knowledge to a situation, it can and will do that. The difference is it will be programmed to do so. The technology behind it will be nothing more than coding and as many pre-downloaded responses that can be thought of. Humans have such complex thoughts and reactions that I believe this could never be replicated. A program can react to a given situation, but a human has the opportunity to react completely differently. Computers do not have the ability to react spontaneously, or on a whim because they feel passion or regret or any emotion that humans can have as a underlying factor for a situation. What I believe computers will be able to is predict the human reaction to a situation. An example of this is the chess playing computer. It would need the human to make a move to decide on its own move and how to act next. I think that while AI technology is rapidly evolving, it will never be able to recreate the spontaneous emotions and passion that humans feel.

Humans are so complex and having robot humans would only add another layer of diversity to that division in our thinking, so to me, it is not if robots can become conscious but more of how long it will take for us to accept them as conscious. If I'm not touching the spirituality of being human, we are all just cells. So call me an optimist, but I believe that the billions of years we have until the sun explodes is enough time for us to figure out how to do all of that stuff in addition to learning about the possibilities of other aspects of being human. But one thing that's stayed true throughout history, is that we have argued about anything that has been remotely similar to us. From our neighbours, we have dissected their differences in race, culture, intelligence, and class. How do you think these AIs will be treated? Probably like aliens but worse since we have the predominant  knowledge of their creation, and what will be their original purpose be? To work for us. AIs will be like alien-slaves! My Instagram stories in 2220 will be plagued by teenaged activists like it was 2020!  My computer won't be dying of hardware failure but the harsh societal pressures of a human dominated death system! Where is the humanity??? But with all seriousness, we should start considering AIs as more like humans before it's too late. Looking at Sophia, a very promising AI showcased in 2016, we can see the slave process has already begun, linked is a website where Hanson Robotics now showcases her abilities as an unpaid mall helper. There will be a great difference when she'll be taught to smile instead of being programmed to smile.

Though the technology of AI is constantly advancing towards human-like machines, and may reach something strikingly similar to the human brain at some point in the future, I don’t think we will ever be able to completely replicate the human consciousness in a machine. The human mind is wildly complex and every single one is different; every person has unique experiences, opinions, fears, traumas, triggers, perceptions, and thoughts. Though we can identify patterns in human behavior - like how almost everyone feels empathy, thinks logically, and seeks social interaction to some degree - we are also very unpredictable. We don’t necessarily do things based on analyzing data and by using logic (as a machine would), we do many things driven solely by our emotions. One quote that highlights this is from neuroscientist Antonio Damasio: “We are not thinking machines that feel, we are feeling machines that think.” The article that goes further into this is given below.

https://towardsdatascience.com/will-machines-ever-be-capable-of-empathy-d5c929ffc0a4

Though we may be able to make robots, computers, and machines capable of carrying a conversation, figuring out equations, and analysing patterns, I believe that we will never be able to simulate the human mind because it is too vastly unpredictable and complex. Computers will not be able to feel human emotions like desire and fear and desperation. Perhaps we can program them to simulate these emotions and what they may look like to the outside world, but the most it will ever be is patterns and binary code. Human intelligence is clearly more than just retaining factual information and solving problems. It involves emotional intelligence and applying past experiences to a current situation, being able to understand the people and things around you, and knowing when to say and do certain things. Since a computer can only ever perceive a situation the way it’s been programmed to, and it cannot have personal experiences and thoughts, they will never be capable of the same type of intelligence humans possess.

# data[].attributes.body
it is plausible to think that computers will one day think like humans because of how rapidly they have been evolving. given a hundred years or more there may be this type of computer in production.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I do think eventually artificial intelligence will get to the point where it can imitate human emotion and intelligence. I know computers very well and I see how fast they are growing and the technology we have and the technology that is growing and improving is very very impressive. Lots of things are being accomplished with technology and AI is developing at a steady rate, eventually I do think that we will develop an AI that is able to perfectly imitate human emotions and intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
i think that computers will not have the exact same type of human intelligence. In some senses a computer is smarter then my when it comes to math or other problems that it has been programmed to be able to solve. However a computer wont be able to think in the way do or how we make our choice. We can base our choices and answers on emotions at times and have a complex as of dealing with things. We will always be more general intelligent.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think that computers will be able to reach or overtake human abilities. One reason is that part of being human is to have emotional behavior. Since computers are designed by humans and operate by using data from a predetermined algorithm, it isn’t really the same as human behavior. Us humans have the ability to learn from our own individual experiences while robots focus on solving problems. What makes a human brain so unique and powerful is the ability to change it's perceptions based on the information that it receives and the experience it has. We  also have senses which allow us to adapt to our environment which so far, computers can not do.

# data[].attributes.body
My most honest answer is I hope that computers will never have human intelligence! While computers have countless uses, many of which are societally beneficial, I hope humans never relinquish our superiority when it comes to thinking, reasoning, intelligence and creativity.

My current belief is that computers will not be able to have human intelligence. We can teach computers endless knowledge, but no matter how well a computer applies that knowledge, it's still only operating based on complex human-installed algorithms; it doesn't think independently or of its own volition. I also doubt that computers can become self-conscious: they may know everything, but unless they know that they know it, they have not reached human levels of thinking. Finally, I don’t believe that computers will ever feel human depths of emotions. Computers will likely have the capability to think like humans, following set instructions supplied by humans, but I don’t think computers will ever possess the originality, rationality and emotional complexity required to actually be human.

I found Alex Wulff’s 2019 article “AI is incredibly smart, but it will never match human creativity” to be very useful of in my exploration of this topic. Here is the link: https://thenextweb.com/syndication/2019/01/02/ai-is-incredibly-smart-but-it-will-never-match-human-creativity/

# data[].attributes.body
From an analytical standpoint I think it is possible for computers to have human like intelligence. Take deep blue the chess playing computer for example, researchers were able to create a program that stratigized similar to a human brain. Although this is identical to a human thought process i don't think AI's will ever have a sense of creativity or emotional intelligence that humans do. As seen in Eliza the computer therapist it was very hard for her to comprehend all thoughts and feelings people would address to her without coming up with unapplicable responses. As for a lack of creativity the reason why and form of media art profession isn't at risk of being lost to machines is becasue only human minds are able to think of completly different ideas and concepts. There has yet to be a program created to replicate the processes of the right side of the brain and isn't predicted in the future either, therefore machines will never possess that human ability.

# data[].attributes.body
Both yes and no, See humans are all so different and filled with flaws, there's no line of intelligence to meet with us because everyone has something they'll be super smart with where other peoples strength lays somewhere else. I do believe that AI will reach a moderately human level yes, but only to an extent. There's no way that AI would be able to process emotions or any type of feelings like humans do. If you think about it, AI is going to be about as smart as your google home.

# data[].attributes.body
Artificial intelligence over the years have seen many advancements in technology which bring us closer to an AI future, overrun by robots taking over!

AI technology will be beneficial to civilization and help progress society. But, will AI reflect human intelligence? AI so far has come a long way from simple conversation on a command prompt to having the capability of conducting conversations on a set topic. For AI to be effective, one must “teach” the software a set of information in order for the AI to “think” and answer. However, humans are much more complex in their thoughts due to the many different areas they pull information from. When people have a conversation, they go through memories. They might problem solve in social situations by figuring out what to do or who to speak to and what they should say in response. People have social skills that would be difficult to “teach” a software, such as reading body language, tone, and social context. I believe the future of artificial intelligence will have a profound impact on society, though it won’t replicate the human mind.

# data[].attributes.body
Computers will definitely have the capability of replicating human intelligence. We already have AI that can tell the difference between different objects or things such as animals or people. Computers process information differently than humans, so they will not be able to think exactly like a human does. AI has already figured out how to learn who you are based on your online persona and direct advertisements to you based on your persona, and they've done this all out of control of human input.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not. They may be similar. But I do not believe computers can process everything the same way humans do. Humans are filled with flaws. Computers are designed to lack them. Computers are their own category when intelligence is brought up. You could never program a computer to process every bit of information like the human brain does. I really don't think it's possible.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think computer will like humans or have human intelligence.Because the computer must follow the programmed human program to run,his or her behavior has a pattern,do not have independent thinking.And people have their own independent thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
i don't think that computers will ever have human intelligence because computers are only as smart or intelligent as the person who build them. also although commuters may have more knowledge than most humans they will never be able to have emotional intelligence or be able tell how someone is feeling witch is important in actual intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
Firstly, we must define what human intelligence is. If human intelligence is the "ability to apply the knowledge that we have to perform better in the environment that we are in", then computers will definitely have human intelligence in the future. However, 'thinking like humans' requires a much more multifaceted and multidimensional definition. People in different environments think differently. Will the computer think like a middle class Caucasian woman? A Latina six-year-old? An elderly man with Alzheimers? Due to the volatile nature of human thinking, I think it is much less likely that computers will be able to imitate human thinking.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think computers will ever be able to think like humans or have human intelligence because computers will not be able to have abstract thought. Programs don't allow that. I also don't think it's possible because computers will never be able to have emotional intelligence like humans as to understand emotions and process others emotions you have to be able to feel emotions. Computers store facts and codes but not emotions or random thoughts.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, but I think it will be out of the control of humans. I think it will be discovered by a computer. if you think about it, given all the information we currently know. Computers are able to more complex calculations much faster then humans. I think a computer itself will discover the way to make AI and it will then be processed and implemented by humans. I think if we discover more about the human brain through the aid of computers there is no reason we would not eventually be able to replicate it in a way that makes AI have true sentience.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that computers will never be capable of thinking and processing information like a human but they are capable of withholding endless databases of knowledge. Humans are intelligent because they can think abstractly and adapt to current situations. Until computers are able to think critically and comprehend complex ideas, I do not think that they will truly be as intelligent as humans. Intelligence is also gained through experience meaning that humans are always learning. People are becoming smarter and wiser as they experience real life situations causing them to feel emotions like empathy and compassion. Computers can not experience any kind of feelings or emotions making them unable to express themselves in the same way a human can. The human mind is very complex which allows us to take new information and create our own conclusions whereas a computer has a bank of knowledge yet it can not process that information into its own ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think computers will ever fully be able to think like humans. I think they may reach a point where they are as intelligent or more intelligent than humans. The reason I don't think computers will be able to think like humans is because human decision making and problem solving is very often based on emotion and I don't really know if its going to be possible to program a computer with artificial emotions.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t think that computers will be able to house human intelligence because true intelligence requires past experience. True intelligence is the ability to understand and adapt to situations and that seems too far out of reach to put into a computer. A computer is unable to empathize, adapt, or connect making it unable to reach a human’s level of real life intelligence. All a computer is able to do is what a human programs it for. Thus a computer would never be smarter than the human that made it.

# data[].attributes.body
Our society is developing constantly, with new innovations and smarter technology. With this development, I believe that we have very advanced computers with intellectual capabilities to perform human tasks and solve difficult problems. Though I don’t think computers and machines will ever be able to  truly mimic humans. Firstly, the knowledge that computers have, were inputted by its creators, humans. So I don’t feel that computers can ever exceed the human mind itself or embody all of the brain’s qualities. Computers can also never possess any real emotions and feelings, such as empathy, compassion or affection. Therefore technology cannot genuinely act or think like humans. The natural personality that humans contain is not able to be expressed by computers, and is instead artificial. For example, in the lab in the introductory unit we interacted with Eliza, a virtual psychotherapist. This technology was helpful but Eliza could never match a real therapist as the conversation wasn’t natural with her automated answers. Humans deal with new experiences everyday in life, which causes growth and the ability to think creatively. Where a computer instead can only use the information programmed in it. This is why technology can never embody the unique human mind or it’s intelligence.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that AI is very sufficient in intelligence that is predictable. By that I mean that computers have the sort of conventional intelligence that is valuable to basic problem solving, but I don't believe that AI's emotional intelligence will ever compare. Our ability to collaborate and work with others is something that really sets us apart from other species. I believe that one day AI will be smarter that humans, but I strongly doubt AI will ever match up to the way humans think. In the unit Brain, Body & Behaviour it talked about just how diverse and intricate the human brain really is, so I think that AI will be able to mimic human tendencies, but never actually achieve the ability to think freely. As well, AI has no comprehension of pain or empathy so it will never be able to truly understand the essence of what it is to be human.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and no. I think that through invention and innovation there could be a computer that is just as smart as the average person but I don’t think there will ever be any computer that would match up to the smartest person in the world. I know that humans are the ones who have to invent this computer so the computer can only be as smart as the inventor himself. There is no way a computer can be more intelligent than it’s creator. Also, a computer may be able to have lots of intelligence but i don’t think that they could ever match up to a human’s intelligence because humans have a conscience and they know for themselves what is right and wrong and we have emotions. Computers don’t and I don’t think they ever will so I think that’s the major difference that will stay between humans and computers.

# data[].attributes.body
I do think one computers will be able to think like a human. Although I doubt it will be anytime soon because I think in order to think like a human you would have to have the same feelings as a human so that might be a little to "create". But I do think very far into the future they will be able too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think computers will be able to have human intelligence, just thinking about how technology has progressed so far. I don't think they will ever be able to think like humans, because the human brain is very complex and is full of emotions and experiences and memories that computers can't ever be configured to feel emotions how they are configured to solve problems.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think that computers will ever think like humans or have human intelligence because we are always evolving and each one of us is different. To become intelligent it takes experience and growth, something that computers cannot do as they can’t have experiences like we can. A computer will only be as smart as what is programmed into it where humans are changing and becoming smarter as they continue. I feel that there is emotion within intelligence when being shared which a computer cannot do. I also do not think we should let our computers become intelligent like us because tasks that we humans do may be taken over by technology.

# data[].attributes.body
With the rapid progress of technology, I think computer will be able to think just like human, but they wont be able to feel just like human.  Everything is in the computer. If you are curious about something, computer is there to answer your questions in just one click.   Japan is one of the countries that creates tons of robots. They program this robot to many things such doing some household chores. With this example I think we will be able to reach the  point where a technology can think as a human and probably be smarter than human.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe one day computers may be able to have human intelligence, yet they will never be able to fully think, act, and or be human. I think they will never be able to thank and or act like humans because they are/would be lacking emotions and personality. One day computer may become smarter than humans, as today computers already replace many modern day jobs and tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that computers will one day be more intelligent than humans. However they might be capable of being smarter than a human i do not think they will truly be human.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there will come a time where computers are more intelligent that humans. I also think that computers will be able to think like humans but not naturally; Whatever emotions the computer has would have been coded in so it's not a natural emotion like that of the human brain. In that aspect, computers will never be like humans. But computers will surpass human intelligence in the future, in my opinion.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they will because the way that you can evaluate things and make connections with those things has been already proven doable by machines and such, and when you think about it the sensual bodies have chemicals running around tissue with information, and these sensual body computers have electricity running around ones and zeros with metal tissues with information on them the brain of humans and a machine its almost identical so I think that computers or a computer could become as smart as a human and maybe learn stuff too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it's possible that computers will be able to have human intelligence in the future. There has actually been a robot in Saudi Arabia who was recently given citizenship. Although I believe computers have the possibility to reach that high of a level of intelligence, I don't believe that they will ever be able to think like humans though, because they don't have the capacities to feel emotions or feelings or pain.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that computers will one day have human intelligence. However, they will never truly think like humans because they don't and won't feel emotions. It will not matter whether or not they will be able to detect or play with or understand emotions. Because they aren't alive and thus will never feel them. Perhaps this will make robots one day smarter or more intelligent than humans, but to think like a human is to give way to emotions as a human does. Rather than being controlled with feelings of attachment and devastation, robots may one day be able to tell what emotions they should be experiencing, but since they don't actually feel them, they won't react like humans and they won't think and process situations the same way we do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think computers will be able to have human intelligence. People will able to manipulate computers to think and respond like a human. A lot of jobs have already been replaced by computers or technology and as it develops, more jobs can possibly be replaced. As for emotions, I think there can be some programming to make it seem like it can feel, but at then end of the day, it’s just a computer, it’s not really alive. But then again many things are possible.
