While our smartphones and computers are shrinking, their computing power is growing exponentially. Close at hand with this trend, computer scientists and engineers refine and create what we call AI, Artificial intelligence. Today, the AI that humanity has developed carries a relatively low intellectual capacity. On the other hand, specialists of the field such as Andrew Garrison and Rodney Brooks predict that in the future, AI will carry a level of intelligence higher than that of a human. This development
