Title: Is Artificial Intelligence Possible?

In this paper the question, which is also the title of this paper, ``Is artificial intelligence possible?'' is examined. We investigate earlier thoughts regarding this question by famous thinkers such as Turing, Searle, Penrose and Chalmers and move on to consider what artificial intelligence is actually supposed to mean. Disregarding philosophical questions such as if machines can have a consciousness we turn our focus towards the possibility of machine intelligence matching or more interestingly, exceeding human intelligence.
