Yes. I suppose one approach would be transhumanism. Rather than be surpassed by the machines we merge with them. What if you could have brain upgraded to have an IQ of 1000 or a million?
One of the limiting factors of human intelligence is believed to be working memory (often assessed via the digit span) - even small differences to this could potentially make a big difference.
If you have any kind of prosthetic, or wear glasses, or a use a hearing aide, the argument could be made that you are an embryonic form of cyborg.
That's a great point. Sure there's benefits in being a cyborg of sorts. :)
