Can computer intelligence replace that of human? ? This question comes up often. Actually it's not a philosophical question,because it has an exact scientific answer. Even though this answer is based on an important scientifc axiom that I will mention.
So a computer can lock human out of the control. It's no big?deal, my door knob locked me out of my house all times. It can reason too and adapts the best policy of anti-persuation: silence. Let's take an example to explain the question.?The 128-bit password. In theory no existing and forseeable computer can solve the password. However, on average many poeple?use names or dates as the password. Incorporating these data a computer has a large?probablity to solve some passwaords, just as a human can guess it out, and do it better than human.??However, a human has to program these data into the computer. But, we can write a program that can find this connection all by itself.?To write such a program one?cannot?set out to write a decyphering program, instead one has?to write a program to describe everything in the life of George, the guy whose password we want to decypher. Password decyphering is only part of the calculations the program comes up by all itself. The moral of this example is that to solve one problem all by the program itself, the program has to be more general, or covers a larger and more fundamental domain, than the problem itself.?Does a domain exis ts that covers everything in this universe and others? Someone may point out immediately?that a computer?program does not have to cover everything in the universe. All it needs is to cover more than the domain?as human do to exceed the human intelligence.??Ok. But this is not the whole story. A computer program by itself cannot develop such intelligence, because it needs data and interaction with the rest of world. The question becomes could a computer-robot combination?replace human intelligence? With the computer thinking and the robot do whatever it wants. This sounds a winning combination.?For example, the computer can instruct the robot to build the power plant,mining resources, manufacture more powerful computers,and developmore powerful programs. Why can't this happen? It's here comes?an axiom. That is an intellectual perpetual machine cannot be built.??
