How do we compare human intelligence and computer intelligence, and what do we mean by ‘superior’ intelligence? The following is an excerpt from a “Choice of Catastrophes” by Isaac Asimov. I find that it offers some much needed perspective around AI and offers that instead of trying to determine superior intelligence, thought should be spent looking to find ways to create symbiosis.

After finishing my degree in Computer Science, I started to slowly realize...
