Computing machine and brain. Neumann D.

One of the greatest scientists of the twentieth century and one of the “founding fathers” of modern information technologies, the American of Hungarian origin, John von Neumann, did not live long (1903-1957), but during this short period he managed to be noted by significant achievements in the field of informatics, to develop the theory Games, make a significant contribution to quantum mechanics, the logic and concept of cell automatic machines and even take part in the Manhattan project for the development of nuclear weapons. Information technologies have radically changed a person’s life, affecting each of it - from business and science to politics and art. Artificial intelligence has ceased to be fantastic and became reality. And it was this comprehensive computerization of society that posed a new fundamental question for us: what is the difference between artificial intelligence and human intelligence, and is it at all? John von Neuman, in his truly

prophetic, withstanding the test of time and still regularly reprinted the book, claims: such a difference is minimal. Despite all the differences in the architecture and building blocks of the brain and computer, artificial intelligence, however, is able to imitate the brain.
