The mind is a mechanism. It has no intelligence. The mind is a bio-computer. How can it have any intelligence?

You are asking a machine which has nothing original in it.

I think whatever nation or whoever develops one artificial intelligence will probably make it so that artificial intelligence always stays ahead of any other developing artificial intelligence at any other point in time.

On the other hand, you're human, you have the human tendency to read into the bull things which may not actually be there.

With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code. By contrast, computers double their speed and memories every 18 months. There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.
