We won't have the time to see it if it does because it will be able to work on itself to make itself exponentially smarter and will be able to do so at such a speed that it will eclipse us in seconds.
Then we'll be lucky if it doesn't wipe us out while doing something else the same way we don't think twice about destroying an ant hill to pave our driveway.
That's called the singularity, as in the curve of AI IQ goes up so fast that it stops being a curve and it's just a line going straight up.

That's if we do manage to get it to a tipping point. Others believe that it will become harder and harder to raise the AI IQ until it peaks somewhere below us.
I think the first scenario is more plausible, as do many techies such as Elon Musk I believe.

Will do!

I think all of this boils to whether you're a religious person.
I do agree with the "simulated" intelligence vs actual intelligence argument.
But when you're talking about reproducing the functioning of the brain components in an artificial manner (for example with neural networks - http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ibm-creates-neural-network-chip-large-mouse-brain/) there is theoretically nothing that would stop you from creating a brain that functions the exact same way a human brain does.

Then when you get into the soul as the differentiator between the two types of intelligences, well you get outside the realm of logical discussion and into the religious one.

Here's an interesting article about well known tech guys and where they rank on the AI apprehension spectrum: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/elon-musk-billion-dollar-crusade-to-stop-ai-space-x

Uh oh, now you're mixing in life on other planets with this one!

An interesting theory makes the assumption that if there are many other intelligent life forms in the universe (which is statistically very reasonable IMO), then at least some of those could probably have achieved advanced AI.
Since advanced AI (not talking about the "simulated" kind, but the self-learning kind) has the ability to improve on itself exponentially (the smarter it gets, the faster it gets at getting smarter, and so forth), there would probably be some almost-infinitely smart AI somewhere out there.
The question is then, how come we haven't seen any sign of it? Maybe even it can't travel the universe? Maybe there aren't that may other life forms out there? Maybe it is here but we can't notice it? Maybe advanced AI is indeed unreachable?

And let's say you want to get sacrilegious, how would that infinite intelligence relate to God?

Disclaimer, I'm just having fun with this discussion here, I'm not an ideologue either way but I do find different degrees of likeliness in all these scenarios...

Maybe it's Dialed In that will do us in.
