随着人工智能技术的发展，全社会在人工智能这一技术究竟能在多大程度上替代人、人工智能是否能超越人的问题上展开了热烈讨论。本文将通过图灵机(人工智能的原理)和认识论(人脑的认识原理)的对比来论证人工智能的上限在哪里，在此基础上确定人工智能在未来社会中的定位以及人工智能开发所应遵循的原则，随着这几个问题的解决人工智能的理论建设才真正完成。这一工作的意义在于1) 能最大限度的避免人工智能带来的社会风险；2) 避开人工智能无法实现的开发方向以避免对社会资源造成的巨大浪费；3) 明确了人工智能的发现方向，最大限度的发挥人工智能的优势以带给人类社会最大的福祉。
With the development of artificial intelligence technology, the whole society has a heated discussion on the extent of artificial intelligence replace human beings and whether artificial intelligence can surpass human beings. This paper will demonstrate the upper limit of AI by comparing Turing Machine (the principle of AI) with Epistemology (the principle of human brain). On this basis, it will determine the orientation of AI in the future society and the principles that AI development should follow. With the solution of these problems, the principle of AI will be determined. The significance of this work lies in: 1) avoiding the social risks brought by AI to the maximum extent; 2) avoiding the development direction which AI cannot achieve to avoid the huge waste of social resources; 3) defining the direction of AI discovery, maximizing the advantages of AI to bring the human society to the greatest extent.
