Abstract

The relentless progress of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has sparked a profound and enduring debate: which form of intelligence, human or artificial, is superior? This paper navigates this complex question, not by seeking a definitive victor, but by undertaking a comparative analysis of the distinct characteristics of human and AI. It explores the foundational cognitive architectures that underpin both, delves into the enigmatic nature of consciousness, and examines the formidable open challenges confronting the pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Ultimately, this paper argues that the future lies not in a contest of supremacy, but in the synergistic potential of human-AI collaboration, a prospect that promises to redefine the boundaries of knowledge and innovation.
