In the essay "Toward An Intelligence Beyond Man's" by Robert Jastrow, the author showed his view on computer intelligence and predicted that computer intelligence it will be a new type of Jastrow stated that nowadays computers are as intelligent as the human brain; they can communicate with humans, learn from experience and raise logical questions, the more they imitate humans in later years, then, Jastrow used the example of Arthur Samuel and the IBM computer to demonstrate that computers can learn faster through motivation, even though they do not have emotions and drives like humans. He also points out that the computer and the human brain share some characteristics ; both freeze when handling too many tasks and outperform rapid decisions in a crisis. Jastrow said that even humans still have the power to control, computers learn much faster than human intelligence. So, in an ultimate situation, computers and humans will become partners; they are completely dependent on each other to survive. However, Jastrow thought this partnership would not last long; as the computer will become more and more intelligent, but the human evolution of intelligence is almost over. He suggested that the computer will be the new type of intelligence that will surpass human intelligence, as a new evolution of life. He said history has shown that it takes a million years for human evolution. It took less time than a billion years of evolution from worm to man. Given the incredibly fast pace of technological improvement, Jastrow thought that computers would evolve in a much shorter period of time. In the essay "The AI ​​Revolution Is On" by Steven Levy, the author stated how new visions of computer intelligence are different... ... middle of paper ... in the 21st century, and could already dominate the lives of human beings. Jastrow predicted that computers would be part of human society in the future, and Levy's real-life examples matched Jastrow's prediction. The computer intelligence Jastrow mentioned was about imitating the human brain and reasoning mechanism. However, according to Levy, nowadays computer intelligence is about developing the reasoning model of artificial intelligence and handling complicated tasks from datasets and algorithms, which has nothing to do with human intelligence. From Levy's perspective on today's version of AI technology, Jastrow's prediction about the evolution of AI will not come true. Since computer intelligence does not aim to recreate a human brain, the whole idea of ​​a computer that can replace humans does not exist. Furthermore, Levy said that it is irrelevant to fear that artificial intelligence could control human being, since people in today's society cannot live without computer intelligence..
