The machine, what has the same intellectual capacity with a human could be built in some laboratory in the world. The problem of creating a machine, what has the same intellectual capacity with humans is basically a very simple thing. Only thing, what is needed is enough microprocessors. When I wrote about the test, where the processes of the human brain were simulated with the supercomputer and one-second process simulation of human brains took 40 minutes, we must know that the reason for that is simple. The supercomputer had too few processors, and think yourself, that you should do the thing, where the human brains use 2,4 billion neurons by using 1,5 million neurons. That would take a very long time, and the problem with making the supercomputer, what has the same brain capacity with humans would just need very much more microprocessors and space, what this system needs is very huge.
And of course the budget would cause problems, but if somebody could by 2,5 billion Pentium processors, that thing could make possible to make the computer, what has the same intelligent level with humans. Here we see, why the physical computer is also an important thing. Another way to solve the problem is to connect several supercomputers together by using the internet, and then there would be enough microprocessors to make the base, what has the same level of intelligence with human brains. When we are thinking about programs of that machine, we would hope, that this thing would not have feelings.
The problem with extreme intelligent machines is, that we need to shut them down if there would be some problems. And if the computer would feel something, it can start to become the thing, that knows about its existence. This means that we would create the cybernetic organism, and if our programs would be too perfect, would it start to act like other organisms and defend itself. This is the need what guarantees the survivability for species. The ability to defend itself is extremely important for the species, because if it's helpless would other species destroy the entire population. And if the computer would have the ability and the need to defend itself, it would, in theory, become dangerous.
But these things are only at the theoretical level, but the computer, what has the same intelligence level with humans could be dangerous if it will start to control some robots. In all scenarios, those robots would not have own willing. And this makes them safe to use, and only thing, what operators must do, when the computer goes mad, is to cut electricity. That would turn off the computer. But there are many things, what is different with a man and computer. The computer cannot create anything new by itself. It cannot create own ideas and produce new things. It has no ability to feel ambition, and it doesn't have a need to rise in the hierarchy.
And the computer doesn't have a need to defend itself. So if the operator feels that the computer have the malfunction, the electricity could cut immediately, and the computer would turn off. This is the major thing also in robotics. If the robot would become useless, the electricity would cut off. Those machines would be used only when the company needs the workers, and when they are useless, they can be cut off to wait for next order.
Or if the produced merchandise would be changed, the robots would need only next CAD pictures, and they can start to produce the next series of merchandise, and the computers would not need the salary, and they don't need the free time. Only thing, what they need is electricity. And they are always ready to work. This makes the employer independent from the workforce. Robots ever make strikes and nothing hurts them. They would do only the things, what the bosses would want, and they would not use their working days for anything else than just work.
