General Artificial Intelligence or Super Intelligence are often predicted for the next few decades. These assumptions are criticized by part of the scientific community but they are more than ever conveyed to the general public. The current capabilities of Artificial Intelligence are both amazingly powerful in many (narrow) domains and surprisingly weak in others. While we hear crazy scenarios for the future, AI faces some theoretical limitations and a few difficult problems, including the famous "Hard Problem" which creates an endless debate among both scientists and philosophers.
