Abstract

We compare the selected characteristics and physical parameters of two types of systems capable of intelligent behavior: biological brains and semiconductor computing systems. We analyze their limitations and potential for further development. We then reflect on the creative thinking and capabilities of both approaches and present a cybernetic perspective on brain function and the hypothesis of consciousness in the brain. Next, an analogy between consciousness in the biological brain and potential consciousness in a human-made machine is discussed. Finally, we offer a brief prediction of the consequences of the emergence and existence of these phenomena for the human population.
