Nilsson says: “Machines exhibiting true human-level intelligence should be able to do many of the things that humans are capable of doing. Among these activities are the tasks or “jobs” that people are employed to do. » He wants to emphasize that artificial intelligence can learn to handle human tasks and benefit society as a whole.

These freedoms will allow machines with human intelligence to work and think. Machines with human intelligence will enable improvement without the need for human insight.
