Hillis, Human inteligence, Artificial inteligenceAbstract
One of the main fields for the study of human learning capacity is that of human intelligence. Although historically marked by the mecanicist expectation of direct
representationism, it has evolved in recent times, in the light of acerbic, and not always wellbehaved, debate. At any rate, here is an issue which has attracted the attention and the fury of many researchers: could machines become intelligent, maybe more intelligent than human
beings? In this brief and introductory text, we indicate a few features of this discussion, building on the book written by Hillis (1998) on the computer's promisses.more and more capable of uniting complexity and intelligence.
