The current state of the art in knowledge and technology concerning natural and artificial intelligence is innovatively discussed here. The paper goes from concepts of natural intelligence to ideas about the possible nature and future of artificial intelligence. The ideas presented are based both on common sense and scientific research. I dare speculate on the requirements for a strong artificial intelligence to emerge.
