Abstract: This article argues that the quest for brain-mimicking artificial intelligence is no longer limited by algorithms or transistor counts, but by the philosophical assumptions embedded in modern electronics. Today’s AI systems, despite their impressive performance, remain rooted in a worldview shaped by the historically inherited and largely unquestioned digital reductionism and Cartesian dualism: one that fragments signals, separates mind from matter, and treats intelligence as an abstract computation detached from physical embodiment.
