"In contrast with our intellect, computers double their performance every 18 months," - Stephen Hawking.
The assumption of A.I. is that the human brain and mind are analogous to the computer hardware and software. I won't dwell into the epistemological and ontological assumptions, but the arguement is that intelligence is like "formal rule-following" and that human knowledge consists entirely of internal representations of reality. So the cognition is the use of internal symbols by internal rules. Therefore the workers in the field of artificial intelligence say that it is possible to scientifically detail the internal "rules" of the human mind, in the same way for example physics details the externam "rules" laws of the physical world. But i don't think we'll be able to understand our behavior in the same way as for example physics or chemistry.
Maybe the direction we're heading is not quite the correct one.
"We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it"
- Stephen Hawking
