We’ll be able to recreate human intelligence by
2020.
To process huge amounts of data a computer
needs much more time than the brain.
The speed of technical progress is accelerating.
Human intelligence will be recreated by tiny
scanning robots sent along blood vessels that
will give scientists all the necessary information
about the brain features.
We already have computers that run factories
and computers which help to build other
computers.
To use tiny robots for scanning blood vessels
will be possible by 2030.
We’ll be able to create an intelligent computer
but it will never have human emotions and moral
responsibility.
If we can make smarter decisions than a
computer, machines will look after us.
The most important difference at the moment
between computers and brains is that
computers work in serial and brains work in
parallel.
