Creation or Possible Abomination?

Artificial minds, is this really possible? I feel that humans one day will be able to create some form of artificial intelligence in the future that can compute, analyze and react to its stimuli like humans do. As expressed in the article Artificial Minds by Jason Holt, it is possible, but can this pose a threat? In is article he uses the example of the movie the Matrix to prove is point. Yes, that is just a film, along with the Terminator and the Alien movie series which all have and use a form of artificial intelligence. I think that within the next 10 years we will have actual mobile robots that can process and analyze information and scenarios presented to them. One of the main arguments of the article is that computers cannot act as we do because they lack a mind, or that computers can be like us because we don’t have a mind. I don’t think that either one of these points of views is correct. I feel that humans have a mind, if we didn’t have a mind, then how is it that we have been able to develop such intricate technology and solve world problems in civilized manners. Robots, to my knowledge, have processing centers which allows for them to react. Now if you think about it then we humans also have processing centers which we call our brain. Now the next possible problem is the robots beginning to think too much on their own and rebel against their creators like in I, Robot. But I don’t think that technology will ever get to the point where it will rebel against us.
