Artificial Intelligence, clear or not?


This essay is in relation to my University career "Computer Science" and I found a very interesting topic about technology and human behavior, those things in future are destined to be a narrower and narrower relationship until when the technology almost give us the opportunity to develop an anthropomorphic machine with AI(Artificial Intelligence) that can reach our intelligence or inclusive exceed the human being intelligence. This kind of machine is only a dream of some science fiction writers? or the dream of the most radical Scientifics? or these can be based on solid bases of how to reach this kind of new level of technology? Well, this essay try to prove that is a very hard work for who wants to take that journey even with all of the technology that right now is called "Classified" and will make us doubt of what we see with our own eyes.

Artificial intelligence is highly studied by the most ambitious companies in the world of technology, the devices and new intelligent machines are a new market that is more and more demanding, obviously the companies are involved and try to make a machine with more human qualities, and for what? because the humans can work better with machines that can be smarter and similar to our behavior in addition, the machines can play roles that can be risky for a normal human and that is when the A.I. can be used, because in those decisions a machine with "human" like comportment can take a decision using external factors like situation, humans lives in risk, feelings, time to react, perception; those things that are human being specific decisions, this behaviour can be created in a machine? is this possible?

Some Scientifics believe that is impossible for the human create a machine that can take a decisions like a real human mind, and even impossible try to imitate human feelings. The machines can develop tasks for humans, and can be very useful, because a lot of human activities are processes, mathematic problems or something similar, and the machines can be thousands or millions times better for doing those kind of activities, this appears because we emulate the brain in processes and those processes can be expressed with physical or mechanic processes but in contradiction with processes like feelings, because they will never can be reduced to physical or mechanic processes.

How a human with a limited mind and intelligence can create a machine that exceed his creator? this is an open debate, but some affirm that is possible to create a copy of the capacity of the human brain, but make a copy of our brains is not synonym of intelligence, Many mistakenly believe that the brain is the organ that causes thought. However, we prove that this is not true, and that is intelligence, while under the brain, the cause of knowledge. To better explain, you can apply the principle of causality:
"[...] by the principle of causality, which is material can not be because of the spiritual: the cause (material) would be provided for this purpose (spiritual). Therefore, the cause of intellectual knowledge [being the spiritual knowledge] can not only be a spiritual cause is just as smart. "

(Hugo Montes Skertchly, Francisco J. Alvarez Rodriguez-"artificial intelligence (AI) or sham reasoning?")
Like Hugo Montes said, the intelligence and brain is not causality, but instrumental, meaning that while the intelligence needs of the brain to think, not think with him. There is a complete relation between intelligence and brain, but the brain is not the organ of the intelligence proved.

The discussion is intense in this moment, maybe in a future; not near, someone can prove that is possible create a machine with our kind of thinking, but is only a copy of the best organic machine in existence, the technology don´t stop and develops fantastic things if someone have the opportunity to create such incredible things we need to think how to use responsibly that impressive technology, maybe when the human can develop that technology the human being could be prepared to charge with the moral and values that those things bring together.
