Modern technologies give us incredible computing power in our hands. Software development has provided intelligent ways of doing things. However, how far are we from the development of Artificial Intelligence machines? There are also of number of Psychological and Philosophical issues arisen by such attempts. Artificial Intelligence will be limited because we don't fully understand the brain. Thus it is argued that until we can dissect the human mind accurately describe the various elements that make up our very being and consciousness, we cannot expect to artificially replicate intelligence.

Microprocessors become more powerful within just a few months, while the frequency of operation has reached the microwave band. More than one computing devices can be seen in the vast majority of the houses of every developed country, while modern smartphones give us incredible computing power in our hands “on the go”. So where is this going to stop and is it possible to reach a level of such a computing power that would be possible to simulate even a simple “version of brain” by the use of a capable software? In other words, is it only a matter of time before artificially intelligent machines are constructed? Conceptually the creation of an artificial intelligence machine is by no means a recent idea. The first paper written on the subject of the electronic brain was published in 1943 by American scientists Warren
