"The Coming Technological Singularity".

"It seems plausible that if computer hardware continues to improve, in the near historical future we could create computer systems that have the processing power of the human brain. If we could also solve the much harder problem of organizing that processing power to behave like a person, then we would have a machine equivalent of the human brain. By itself, this would not be beyond imagining, since we already can make human-equivalent brains, namely by childbirth."
