That depends on how you define meaning and significance. A perfectly rational machine might decide that since the universe is going to run down and die a cold death regardless of anything the human race might do, everything is meaningless. Fortunately I'm not a perfectly rational being and I don't get a choice about whether temporary happiness and prosperity mean something.
