This machine will have to adapt our most impressive and amazing abilities, which allow us to perceive, filter, and distribute a huge amount of information using sensory systems.<\/p>\n<p>Every time you read the newspaper or reach out for a cup of coffee, you are doing something that many machines are completely unable to do. And even more: the greatest minds of humanity still do not know how to make machines be able to do this. But the demand for such specialists who can program AI is unrealistically high.
