Abstract: This paper is a summary of the impact that the impetuous development of information, science and technology may have on emphasizing trends and the role of artificial intelligence. It sets out to explain what conscience is, the way in which information is processed in the system of human thought, the relationship between this system and the study of human conscience and the way in which man-to-man, man-to-machine and machine-to-machine intercommunication is made. Some controversial views will also be displayed regarding the possibility of the existence of machines with a conscience are presented and then demonstrated why it would not possible to build such machines in the future. The conclusion is that, in the upcoming future, machines with a conscience are not consistent with reality and that the best thing would be to state that it will be possible in the future to build machines not with human intelligence, but only machines with algorithmic, binary intelligence.
