I know there are a lot of people who think that a machine will never be as "intelligent" as the human beings, but for some others there is no reason for thinking that, since the other way imply that human beings have some "misterious" thing that makes them special in front the rest of the animals. And that thought sounds as ridiculous as the arguments given by the oppositors to the Darwin´s evolution theory.

For those scientist that do not believe in the artificial intelligence I leave a phrase attibuted to Edsger Dijkstra:

"The question of whether a computer can think is no more interesting than the question of whether a submarine can swim."
