= Today, there are still = many things humans can do that computers can=E2=80=99t. But will it always = be that way? As with most questions, the answer you get regarding brainlike= computing depends on whom you ask. We figured we=E2=80=99d ask a few super= smart technologists and visionaries=E2=80=94like Rodney Brooks, Chairman an= d CTO of Rethink Robotics=E2=80=94when they thought we could expect compute= rs as capable as the human brain. =E2=80=9CNot in our lifetimes, not even i= n Ray Kurzweil=E2=80=99s lifetime,=E2=80=9D Brooks says.
