Computers are already superior to humans in many ways. Quick now what is 2.1 to the 8 power. Well I can't do it but my computer can. But because I know how to use the computer as a tool, I can solve the problem faster than a bullet. Human/Artificial Intelligence systems can always be used to keep people in the loop. Hybrids are usually superior in many situations.

Most people believe that programming and computing power will automatically lead to "The Coming Superbrain" and it might sometime over the next 100,000 years. What most people do not know, is that there is a simpler way to do this with out CPUs and hard drives even though they may be useful for creating hybrids. The simpler way is a self programming holographic interference memory in a analogy wavelet machine. Under the right circumstances you could put 420 billion human minds in eight mayonnaise jars - http://u2ai.us. The major problem is that there are not 420 billion people currently alive to have their knowledge and experience stored collectively. Another major problem is the memory is not addressable. Quick now where is your memory stored when Obama was announced as the winner of the Presidential election. Now list the program us used to access your memory. Wow! Your memory is not addressable and your programs can not be listed for review.

So what I am saying is yes we will have an Artificial Superior Superbrain but not the traditional digital programming way.

The NY Times has an article on Artificial Intelligence (AI) by John
Markoff (no, not the guy who developed the mathematics for random
processes) titled "The Coming Superbrain" which some might find
interesting.  He makes connections to pop culture objects such as
the movie "Terminator Salvation" and science fiction literature as well
as research and speculation in formal areas of AI research. The
article is available at:
