"...can we say now, finally, that computers are as powerful as the human brain? No. Focusing on raw computing power misses the point entirely. Speed alone won’t give us AI. Running a poorly designed algorithm on a faster computer doesn’t make the algorithm better; it just means you get the wrong answer more quickly. (And with more data there are more opportunities for wrong answers!)
The principal effect of faster machines has been to make the time for experimentation shorter, so that research can progress more quickly. It’s not hardware that is holding AI back; it’s software. We don’t yet know how to make a machine really intelligent—even if it were the size of the universe...
Turing himself proved that some problems are undecidable by any computer: the problem is well defined, there is an answer, but there cannot exist an algorithm that always finds that answer...
The machine may be far more capable than us, but it will still be far from perfectly rational."
