I do not think this is equal. Babies may actually be "brighter" than parents, without the parents having to actually "do" anything to produce the higher IQ baby

  Yes parents have to do something to end up with brighter children than themselves - if you put a child in a dark room from birth with no human interaction I can guarentee that they will not come out very bright 20 years later (there have been some very sad examples of this in history). The point I was making is that intelligent agents are built all the time by less intelligent agents. Humans will build more intellgent AI using exactly the same approach and these AI's can do the same. Of couse building an AI via evolutionary training opens up a whole lot of control issues. Do we really want to be creating entities vastly more intelligent than ourselves when we have no real idea of their interests and when we occupy something that is valuble (e.g. matter and energy) to this entity?
