Artificial Intelligence (AI) is all the rage these days. The coming to grips with this new development is now in full swing. The main questions that we seek to answer in relation to AI pivot on one fundamental problem: Can we create AI that will match human intelligence? This contribution addresses this question. It centers on the recent article published by Noam Chomsky and his two co-authors. After a brief overview of the development of AI and its capabilities, the article presents the perspective on AI presented by Chomsky and his colleagues. It also offers a criticism of this perspective. The last sections of the contribution discuss the relationship between humans and machines. They outline the parameters that AI should satisfy to achieve the professed objective of its creators. Most importantly, the article argues, AI should embody the process of creation that can only be possible if we embrace this process and make it the central organizing principle of our theory and practice.
