Dr. Henry Markram has set a goal of creating a fully functioning artificial human brain within ten years. He has already created a functioning rat brain which he plans to connect to a robot. If computing speeds continue to develop at their current exponential pace, and energy efficiency improves, Markram believes that he’ll be able to model a complete human brain on a single machine in approximately ten years. "If we build it correctly it should speak and have an intelligence and behave very much as a human does."
