Most AI from big corpos is no real intelligence. They are pretty dumb sets of rules far off even a rule based system and none of Ivory League trained masters would come up with creating a software that writes its own rules. Like how would they get to that idea? You know what I mean, public scholars.
There is one way which is interesting and that's creating task dedicated virus style small code software that can alter itself. Like, you create a sandbox called environement. Let's say a Call of Duty map. Then you create a software that controls your avatar and does the mouse and key strokes instead of you and keeps noting success by adjusting its code to become more successful. Of that rather small piece of software you create on a bigger computer as many as you can and the most successful you further develop.
Another way might be connecting knots of information. Like the main purpose of the internet is sharing information. Animals with small brains are dumb, the bigger the brain gets, in the meaning of conncetions in the brain, the smarter the animal is. Each knot called synapsis does little, but they constantly are in exchange.
Therefore, I like P2P.
Meaning there is a possibility that, if we connect more and more computer with each other, but without central hubs, one day....
