Quite soon, in only 10 or 20 years perhaps, we will be able to assemble a machine as plex as the human brain, and if we can we will. It may then take us a long time to render it intelligent by loading in the right software (軟件 ) or by altering the architecture but that too will happen. I think it certain that in decades, not centuries, machines of silicon (硅 ) will arise first to rival and then exceed their human ancestors. Once they exceed us they will be capable of their own design. In a real sense they will be able to reproduce themselves. Silicon will have ended carbon39。s vibrations 23 .
