Intelligence is ultimately an adjective, not a noun.  Intelligence refers to
primarily to intelligent control in embedded controllers and secondarily to
everything else that's heaped on top of this foundation in layers of
abstraction.

So its only purpose will be to interface with the human body to provide us
with intelligent prosthetics, and to ultimately bind us all into one
Consciousness, as we travel in a huge self-regenerating cubical spacecraft, so
we can eventually go out and ravage the rest of the Universe.
