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:
