What will happen when computers match humans in intelligence?

[barryqwalsh]

At that point, humans would cede leadership in technological development, since the machines would be capable of improving their own designs by themselves. And with the accelerating pace of technological change, it wouldn’t be long before the capabilities – and goals – of the computers would far surpass human understanding.

Intelligence is always good. Intelligence means more breakthroughs in science and tech!

If it is more intelligent it maybe more deserving.

For the forseeable future, computers are only as smart as their programmers. On their own they can't do anything. They don't think independently, have no creative intelligence, and their only claim to fame is being really good at remembering and executing human commands really fast. But that's not intelligence like our's. That's just glorified clockwork.
