Modelling minds: can computers mimic human intelligence?

Futurum

For example, computers can perform thousands of calculations per second, meaning they can solve some mathematical problems far more quickly and accurately than humans. Understanding how the human brain functions so efficiently and flexibly remains one of the greatest mysteries of science. But does this mean they are smarter than us?
