| | Many philosophers, including John Searle, have advanced the view that artificial intelligence is an impossible goal. The main argument is that it would be impossible for a machine, a creation of man, to ever achieve actual understanding and comprehension of either language or the world around it, as the machine is simply a set of rules which process symbolic information. This argument is summarized by Searle's [[thought experiment]], the Chinese Room.<ref>http://www.iep.utm.edu/c/chineser.htm</ref> Despite being a [[humanist]], Searle's arguments reflect the popular religious thought that creation can never be as great as the Creator. Thus, his conclusions are self-evident truth to any theist, as a machine is simply a metal object. | | Many philosophers, including John Searle, have advanced the view that artificial intelligence is an impossible goal.
