I think the true question you should be asking is that, will computers have the capacity to think? And more importantly, will they have a concious?

I personally think that we can develope a certain sense of conciousness in a computer or robot in the future. It seems plausible, although probably unlikely for the near future.
Good points. I agree completely!

To design a program or computer chip that allows an AI to have consciousness, and possibly have feelings like pain, love, etc. is something I see possible, but not in my lifetime.
