At the moment,computers show no sign of intelligence.This is not
surprising,because our present computers are less complex than the
brain of an earthworm.But it seems to me that if very complicated
chemical molecules can operate in humans to make them intelligent,
then equally complicated electronic circuits can also make computers
act in a intelligent way. Stephen W. Hawking,physicist,1998
