The key concept with artificial intelligence is self-awareness. Even before self-awareness is attained, a computer must have exhibited the ability to transcend its programing. Once the A.I. begins to grow and develop its own processes, to think its own thoughts, then it's on the path. When we can look at a computer system and say, "OK, none of this was programmed in," that's the point at which we really need to think about this.
Makes me want to read Neuromancer or watch Serial Experiments Lain again, or at least Ergo Proxy.
