No.
The definition of life is a little wobbley, some things you may think of as alive are not for example viruses. Computers are sensitive and respond to stimuli, they require nutrition in the form of electrical energy, some can move. But none of them meet the definition of life.
To be "alive" a computer would have to be capable of reproduction, excreation of waste products and growth.
If you had a computer which could build new bits onto itself and was linked to its own energy generating system (petrol generator) you would be getting close.
It's not really a question of how smart the computer is; bacteria are dumb but living. The problem has more to do with if a computer will ever be able to make copies of itself that could be classed as reproduction.
If a computer ever does hit all the criteria for being alive, then the criteria will probably be changed.

∙ 7y agoNo, computers are machines designed and built by humans. They are no more living than any other machine that humans have designed and built (e.g. pipe organ, claw hammer, pump, airplane, steam locomotive, blast furnace, block and tackle, bow and arrow, screw, television set, walkie talkie).
