Will Artificial Intelligence Grow Beyond Human Intelligence?

Human intelligence is the quality of brain that learns, extracts knowledge, acquires abstract concepts from its surrounding, whereas artificial intelligence is the ability of a machine to mimic the same tasks learning from data it receives. Intelligence is a quality that belongs to humans and if machines could play the game right, our lives would become much easier. Timo Elliott, Innovation Evangelist, SAP said, "The rise of artificial intelligence is raising the premium on tasks that only humans can do: it is freeing workers from drudgery and allowing them to spend time on more strategic and valuable business activities. Instead of forcing people to spend time and effort on tasks that we find hard but computers find easy, we will be rewarded for doing what humans do best -- and artificial intelligence will help make us all more human." However, despite significant advancements, AI still could not match up to human intelligence in most aspects. In the growing debate about AI vs. human intelligence, the given wisdom has been that artificial intelligence will augment human tasks, but not replace them, anytime soon.
