The argu-ment might be offered that evolu-tion progressed by slow, randomchange until there was developed astructure complex enough to addpurpose to evolution. The humanbrain being the instrument thatadds such purpose, the new andsuperior computer intelligencecould then be seen as the next stepin a new kind of evolution. Of course, other things could besaid, too, and other arguments of-fered. In any event, it would all betestimony to the profound impor-tance of a subject whose dimen-sions are only now beginning toemerge. □ A computermight bedesigned that would come to conclusions on the order of complexity expected of the human brain.
