Due Friday, Sept 18th.

This assignment must be typed (and spellchecked).

In class we have discussed whether computers are capable of such human qualities as intelligence, understanding, emotions, etc. Write a short (~2 paragraph, 1/2 page) paper describing whether you believe computers are capable of human-like intelligence. Include both what you mean by intelligence and carefully present your reasoning for why you believe computers are or are not capable of achiving it.

Note, the question is not whether current computers are capable of human-like intelligence (its pretty clear they are not), but whether they ever achieve it.
