Many jobs require vision for most of the tasks performed and the discussion focuses on the nature of human visual perception. Arguments are given to support the claim that visual perception is a very complicated function of the brain. To attempt to answer whether or not artificial intelligence (AI) will ever be able to essentially do what the brain does, the history and current state of AI research is examined, with special attention to neural net research.
