Excerpts: McCormick estimates it will take at least two decades to combine
self-switching chips with detailed neuronal maps to create even a very crude
copy of the human brain. Ray Kurzweil, an artificial-intelligence researcher, is
more optimistic. "I think that within 30 years, probably much sooner, we'll have
completely reverse-engineered the human brain and be able to re-create competing
systems that emulate it," he says. "The more you learn about biology, the more
humble you become. It engineers things so much better than we do."
