The notion of computers as competing with humans in terms of "intelligence" has been around for a long time.
In 1997 the victory of IBM's Deep Blue over Kasparov the chess champion generated a fair amount of claims in the popular press that, finally, computers were outsmarting humans.
I plan to provide an overview of the underlying technologies and show you why certain tasks of human intelligence remain well beyond the capacity of computers and are likely to stay that way in the foreseeable future.
Looking to do some gigs around glasgow at the moment. Message/comment me if you have any questions.
