科学家们正在设想,对具备人脑智力水平的电脑应提出哪些要求?可能将包括:复杂的智力(如音乐和艺术天赋)、创造力、处世能力,甚至对情感的反应能力。通常,这样一台电脑需要能一秒钟运算大约20万亿次。尽管这种能量大得惊人,但科学家认为这还是可以实现的。即使摩尔定律由于基于硅的芯片技术所限而走到尽头(估计在2019年),一种新的 Scientists are figuring out what to expect from computers with brain-intelligence levels that might include: complex intelligence (such as musical and artistic talent), creativity, ability to perform, and even emotional responsiveness. Often, such a computer needs about 20 trillion operations a second. Although this energy is staggering, scientists think this is achievable. Even though Moore’s Law comes to an end (due in 2019) due to silicon-based chip technology, a new
