Question

can we create a robot which is more intelligent than the average human being?

Answer 1

We cannot do so at the present time. However, within another dozen years, at the present rate of change, we should be able to produce a computer with computational power in excess of that of the human brain. Incorporating this computer into a robot would be trivial.

Within a few dozen years of that, it is conceivable single autonomous computers will have computational power exceeding that of the entire human race. The rate of technological progress which currently is exponential, is expected to jerk forward at that time. Our world will be passing strange.

Answer 2

If you are cynical or spend a lot of time on Yahoo Answers, then yes, most dishwashers manufactured today are more intelligent than the average human.

The emphasis of most computer applications is to use computers for what they are already good at, and to use humans for what they are already good at. As technology progresses, that tradeoff changes.

Computers fly high performance aircraft flawlessly, far better than a human ever could. If you want a human to win an 'intelligence' contest with a computer, you need to choose a competition where the human has the advantage.

There is more knowledge in Wikipedia than any single human will ever know. But we still lead in reasoning, creativity, and some kinds of pattern recognition.

Answer 3

It depends on how low you think the average is. A robot running the average car in the rush hour would probably raise the overall average of drivers on the road.
But IQ is a lot more complicated than can be handled by a computer at this time and with the exception of limited skill areas, it is going to be a long time before robots (or computers) are competent, self-willed and curious.

Answer 4

First, you should define intelligence. The average human being can learn many new things and think parallelly, which he/she does when recognising patterns, colors, smells, sounds etc. As of now, robots are far away from such feats but the gap is narrowing. So, it may not be a far-fetched scenario in a few decades.

Answer 5

You could create a computer that knows more information than a human, but you won't be able to make a robot that can be more intelligent than a human. There are millions and millions of topics and it's impossible for a robot to be smarter in all of them. Along with trying to make the robot smarter in all areas, you'd have to give the 5 senses to the robot and somehow improve those over a humans. Just not feasible!

Answer 6

its more about the robots brain(a computer), than the robot

to answer your question, sure.
it really depends on your definition of intelligent.

IBM's Deep Blue out smarted a highly skilled human in 1997

I do believe that in the future, with quantum computing,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computer
we will be able to have a robot brain fast enough to compete with a humans brain.

its up to the programmers to decide at that point whether or not the robot will be smarter than us.

Answer 7

Your familiar statements are all incorrect and deceptive. Use robots for what they are stable at. they might perform a little projects lots greater ideal than people. So use the robots and loose the people for what people are stable at: sensible theory. supply up training people to be robots and commence coaching them to think of.

Answer 8

By the speed the Robotics is going, I feel the days are not far away. They may learn to multiply, on their own.

Answer 9

Not in the foreseeable future....there is a difference between knowledge (available data) and intelligence (how you use the data).
Considering the fact that noone has defined intelligence it is unlikely that a computer programmer will fluke it.

Answer 10

A pocket calculator is more intelligent than half the people I meet.
