I’m talking about strong AI.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strong_AI

The computational ability of the brain hasn’t even been achieved yet and probably isn’t due for at least 20 years (based on Kurzweil’s research), so there’s no way any strong AI system exsits anywhere in the world, yet.

If you accept Penrose’s conjecture, then strong AI is a long way off, but very few people think our brains work on a quantum level.
Marvin Minsky doesn’t, and he’s the man in AI (not to disparage Penrose).

No, it’s John McCarthy! :) He’s the man!
