Artificial Intelligence means the computer is capable of sentient thought. We... we don't have that, and personally I think we never will. That whole "soul" thing. Y'know.
So, what do you plan to do in the event that we do make a hard AI?
We won't. As I said, it is impossible to create a soul, and a soul is what makes us sentient. You cannot make a program that thinks the way living things do, especially humans.
I realize you think I'm being close-minded, but it's a matter of faith. Which, probably makes you think me even more close-minded, but that's not something I need to handle. That's just your views. We all have views, I won't argue with yours, and you won't argue with mine.
So... I can't answer your question. Sorry.
I don't care about any possible soul or whatever. I just want five (or three, or fifty, or whatever.) subtly-different mes to bounce ideas off of each other and pay attention to separate projects at the same time, able to communicate with each other many hundreds of times faster with many thousand times less misinterpretations than that inherent in "just talking to other people." The ability to genuinely dedicate 100% of my cognitive capability to multiple projects, in parallel and near-instantaneous? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
Though other people could join in, too! If we manage working inter-mind translation software or whatever. Artificial creations for dealing with specific subjects would be fine, as well.
There's a problem. What you're talking about, that's the internet.
Now, imagine the internet in you head.
Imagine
fucking Fourchan in your head.
Now, do you see the problem? Humans are weird little fuckers, and we don't have a hive mind for a damned good reason.
