There will have to be some safeties built in so this would be a limiting factor because unlike us they would not have "free will".
Something to ponder... Assuming these safeties are put in place would they still be considered truly intelligent?
What really scares me is "Grey Goo" or nano technology. Self replicating micro robots that could do whatever they want without our input of control.
If that was ever invented we'd be in real trouble. Just imagine trying to stop them entering your body so they can fix you without your consent.
But they could also be a real cure for aging. Nano bots fixing your cells so they replicate perfectly indefinitely.
How does a life expectancy of 600 years sound? (estimate based on current fatal accident statistics)
