Artificial IntelligenceWhile the software engineers are endeavouring in creating a computer with human intelligence, some scientists in Massachussets Institue of Technology have developed a new idea.
Their Idea is based on the Hypothesis which says,
"Humanoid intelligence requires humanoid interactions with the world." This hypothesis says that, for a machine to have human-like intelligence, that machine should have all the sensory inputs of the normal human(visual, auditory, touch, equilibrium/assessing acceleration, etc..).
So, their final creation would be a
Humanoid-Robot.
And that robot is expected to think and feel like humans.
Though this may take some long years for the scientists.

One says that AI is not possible at all(that means to simulate the human brain 100% is not possible) and the other says that Human brain is just a computer made of Meat(which means even our human brains use the logical and algorithmic process used by computers, so it can be mimicked by high level engineering).[u]
