Currently the intelligence of a computer algorithm can be is constructed on a 60+ yr old architecture, John von Neumann Architecture, and Turing machine model.
Human has incredibly creativeness, which is unbeatable by the current computer architecture, since it's built on the Turing machine model.
What's creativeness? It's something always can create new ideas and new thoughts, which is totally unexpected. Like, you can brainstorm with your professors when discussing a new research problem, and it's likely to lead to something undiscovered. Like, when you happen to play a new puzzle game, you can always figure out some new strategies. These skills are unpredictable.
However, that's exactly what the computer cannot. Turing machine defines a machine is always "predictable" !
Recently a professor from CMU coined a name : human computing, which first clarify the boundary between human and machine, by finding out some tasks like CAPTCHA that only human can figure out.
The ultimate goal of AI is to make the machine achieve to human intelligence. Therefore the underlying architecture has to be modified to adapt to creativeness.

New Blog, New Start
Just get to know that Blogger belongs to Google, the top $$ search engine. Therefore, it's wise to set up a new blog here and start blogging. :)
