Abstract

This article begins with a brief reference to the history of the Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) highlighting the great figures of George Boole, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. The algebra of the first, the undecidability theorem of the second and the advanced machine of the third marked the fundamental milestones of this evolution. The use of the binary system and the introduction of quantum mechanics is explained, which is a great step forward by being able to count on the advantages of quantum computer and algorithms, along with quantum statistics and other new complementary technologies. Regarding the controversy over whether A.I. can outperform Human Intelligence (H.I.) we conclude at the end of the work that enormous effort made on the way to the present allows us to affirm that Artificial Intelligence constitutes, in a certain sense, an asymptote of the Human Intelligence.
