Abstract

Since the dawn of its development the computer has been a staple of science fiction and thus mostly due to it humanity has constantly dreaded a day when intelligence stemming from computers commonly known as Artificial Intelligence (AI) would allegedly take over the world. The recent advent of advanced AI chatbot technology has again sparked that fear due to its ability to compose essays similar to that of a human being. This chapter discusses the concept of intelligence in biology and binary digital computing. Based upon the weaknesses of either, especially the hidden vulnerabilities of AI predicted by Gödel’s First Incompleteness Theorem and role of humans in programming AI, the question of whether it is likely to happen in the near future is discussed.
