Evolution, the process to which we owe our intelligence, is ultimately a dumb search process itself. It has no concept or understanding of what it creates, and yet, it still creates.<p>Thus, I fail to see why some sort of fundamental understanding of intelligence is required in order to create it. On the contrary, it&#x27;s not hard to imagine genetic algorithms combined with neural networks being used in a similar fashion, provided there&#x27;s sufficient data and computing power available.
