Can robots ever behave and feel like humans? Is it possible to reconstruct our brain that robots could be as intelligent as we are? Uunfortunately, it is likely to happen. Such and others questions appear in the article under the title “ The robots are coming – or are they ? What is the current state of play in Artificial Intelligence?“ In this essay, I will present main ideas contained in the article and share my opinion about it. To begin, the author of the article uderlines that a handful of scholars claim that our brain is a very complex mechanism and none device is surely able to replace it. What is more, other scientists including physicist Roger Penrose and Colin McGinn , think that any machine is unable to think like human. So that means, people are in possession of intellectual capacities, which robots do not have. Another point is that, the scientists remain confused on how the intelligence works. However, some mathematicians and IT specialists believe that sooner or later intelligent robots will appear. Furthermore, later in this article, author compares prototype robots and a fruit flies in order to shows, that even such small insect can automatically recognise and react by numerous calculations. The author emphasizes another difference between the humans and the robots, it is common sense, which is absent in AI mechanisms. Moreover, the robots are not able to extend their intelligence in the same manner as people. Rodney Brook changed the direction of researches and used a “bottom-up” approach. The resulting output was the creation of “insectoid”. A small robot which learned to move from its mistakes. Later on, NASA employed Brooks’ inteligent robots. Some people believe that machines, unlike the people, are unable to have emotions and feelings. In spite of this statement, computer expert Hans Moravec argues that in the future, robots will have emotions. He also mentioned
