Artificial intelligence won't destroy the human race anytime soon

Thing is, we have a pretty clear understanding of what flight is. Do we have the same actual understanding of intelligence?

Also, while an airplane is faster than a bumblebee, a bumblebee is unsurpassed in doing its own thing - at least to the best of my knowledge we cannot make a flying vehicle of that size, weight, and maneuverability. In the same way, a computer excels at certain tasks, but does not measure up at all for others. A car is much faster than a human, but it cannot climb trees, and most certainly it cannot do embroidery. I doubt that we can surpass human intelligence without understanding it better, but I guess by the time one of us dies, it either will or will not have happened.
