I think there's some "missing link" here, I think we'll have human brains merging with computers to create a symbiotic AI relationship that's less artificial but more "enhanced" for already existing "intelligence", this enhancing is probably the equivalent of the singularity, or pre-cursor to it, as we are able to research faster and faster with our computer-aided brains, we might get to AGI easier/quicker.

We're at least 30 years away from that though, if not 100. Immortality tech, may be easier to accomplish.
