Seriously check out Schmidhuber's work (http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen http://people.idsia.ch/~juergen), from his website:"Since age 15 or so, the main goal of professor Jürgen Schmidhuber has been to build a self-improving Artificial Intelligence (AI) smarter than himself, then retire.".

    Actually it was invented by an exercise freak. Francis Davis was a marathon runner in the 20's around the same time he invented power steering.
