It seems it would be very hard to place an arbitrary restriction like that (2x human intelligence vs 100x human intelligence) on something that is learning. I think the idea here is that the AI would begin to learn on its own and become smarter at a frightening pace, not that we would set out to create something that had exactly 2x human intelligence. How do you quantify human intelligence like that anyway? We are very similar to proposed AI/machine learning techniques in that we form predictive models from observation, but how can that really be measured?
