What actually IS "intelligence"? Interesting enough you can get some pretty tough AI when it comes to gameplay.
I reckon the thing is just behind the next corner.

To put things in perspective, the average human brain has 100 billion neurons, each neuron acts a computer, it on average is connected to around 10,000 other neurons, the input from each neuron influences the firing threshold of the neurons it is connected to, in essence each neuron acts like a micro computer.
So if you look at the internet as a comparison, there are a possible maximum 255 x 255 x 255 x 255 computers on the internet at any one time ~ 4 billion computers.

I didn't know the 10,000 average connections per neuron figure (got a source for that? I'm interested).
Written by :Doc Lightning
But here's the thing: a given neuron has one output: either it fires or it doesn't. On a more complex level, the firing rate is the ultimate determinant of the output of the neuron.

the bits on a computer also have one output, they are either ones or zeros, its the way in which those ones and zeros are connected together and interpreted that gives meaning.

The difference is that a neuron produces a firing rate. That firing rate determines the concentration of a neurotransmitter in the synapse at the end of that axon. That influences the next neuron's likelihood of firing. There's a lot of fuzziness in there that bits and bytes can't replicate.

The other thing is that the human brain is shockingly similar to that of a chimpanzee or a bonobo. And our genomes are 97% concordant. What the hell is in the other 3%?

There is a LOT of information already available, lying idle on maybe a billion PC's worldwide? I'm not certain of the computing powers of a single neuron - so
how many computers would it really take to resemble a human brain?
Written by :FireTom
What I do know is that in an enclosed environment (like for say a game of chess) you can't beat a PC. Sure, a computer is only as good as the people who programmed it - but the information stored on a computer seems[ to be far more reliable and precise that the information stored in a human brain. There is little guesswork on a hard drive, no?

Now when it comes to the "catching up" that computers would have to do.... how about CERN or - more specific - how about "the Grid"? It seems that we're not as far from generating a (web based) supercomputer as we might think.

I agree that there is alot more complexity in the neurons as the firing threshold inside of each one changes with relation to the states of the microtubules inside it, which act as a cellular automata to determine the threshold and are influenced by the incoming signals, but in essence I don't see a difference in the principles behind how they process information.

Well, microtubules play a strange, and ill-defined role in neuronal processing. Then there is post-transcriptional modification of all sorts of neuronal proteins ranging from proteins that control synaptic vesicle release to receptors to switching of the voltage threshold for voltage-gated sodium channels.
It's hideously complicated.

More so I think intelligence has nothing to do with a body.

Yet: is the ability to process informations (fast) not the foundation to intelligence?
Written by :FireTom
So with higher processing capability and all the information stored, all the programs available it is possible to generate AI... I'd say. There are determinations of for say facial expression and their translation (anger, stress, comfortable, happy...) same is possible for to determine the human voice, etc. already in place. Maybe it's only the "missing link" that is .... well, missing.

I might have to meditate more upon it and dig deeper into respective literature to get across what I mean. At the same time, there are ppl out there who studied this topic for a lifetime and still have not accomplished a satisfactory result...
