Abstract

This article was originally written for the purpose of breaking the ice in the round table discussion held in the conference. Since the name of the conference is ‘Neural Network and Artificial Intelligence’ the topic of this article is, “What is intelligence?” when we talk about artificial intelligence in general, and artificial neural network in particular. In the history of the field of artificial intelligence, we have had many arguments claiming that artificial intelligence was not intelligent enough yet, or would not be possible to be intelligent even in the future. We take a brief look at such arguments in the history, and then try a speculation concerning if a machine intelligence is as flexible as human intelligence or not. Some experiments of path-finding, with spiking neurons, from this point of view are shown. These were discussed in the roundtable discussion. Here, in this special issue, additionally one thought-experiment using a quantum random walk is discussed. Then a further consideration on a role of consciousness for a machine to be intelligent is followed.
