As an AI is a stupid machine in an environment optimised for them. Not in vain the joke goes: you call it AI for investors (money) and Machine Learning for developers (patience). That much power could be enough, specially since the release of alphago zero (a machine that teaches itself without any input)

The singularity is probably super far away. But one can know what takes from 1 to n. But from 0 to 1 it just needs a dedicated genius.
