Can Machines Think

brain processes information. To simulate human intelligence the computer must first simulate and understand the human behavior. But even after that, the computer must be able to understand emotions and how those emotions make us feel.A computer can appear to think but in reality it is just following instructions. The goal of AI is to stimulate human performance at a task, not only do they want the program to do the best as it can but to also fail where a person would fail. There are some techniques which have been developed by psychologists that can be used to do this analysis. A digital computer is purely a machine to manipulate ones and zeros, given a specific program. But humans are able to understand what the "meaning" of the phrase was, however a computer would not. The separation between a human and a machine is easy because one has emotions and the other one doesn't. Machine based decisions are more logical and rational and are without any emotional baggage. But on the other hand emotions are useful to form decisions. There are only two possible ways of dealing with this problem. Emotions can be provided for intelligent machines by duplicating a sub-system of a human brain or on the other hand we could have machines without any emotions. If that's the case, then machines will not take account of any moral issues of our society. AI is, as shown in the article, a powerful scientific invention with far-reaching possibilities that offers great changes. But when will we accept the changes and allow this to be a possibility? If we ever will then we have to be prepared for the worst, that could happen in AI, in regard to ultraintelligent machines. Hopefully this will be just a futuristic fiction. I agree with Charles W. Bailey, Jr., when he said computers will never simulate human intelligence in that way human brain does. So the answer to the question: "can machines think?", must be denied. It will never be possible to attribute hu...
