''We need to emphasize, however, that we simply do not know what genetic factors determine popularly desired traits such as athletic ability, intelligence, appearance and personality. For sure, each of these has a significant component that may be available for genetic manipulation, but it's safe to say that our knowledge of each of these traits is in its infancy.'' Does this mean that intelligence and maybe specific types of intelligence can simply be found in our DNA as small 'box' which contains intelligence, and from there simply change or cut it out and insert an artificial intelligence 'box'? english is not my mother tongue

I guess that’s one way to put it. However, if we were able to understand how intelligence worked, we would simulate it in computers long before we tweaked it in humans.
I think that eventually we will create genetically superior humans. If we knew how, it would be criminal not to.
I’m not sure I’d call that type of intelligence artificial, but I suppose it would depend on how much manipulation was done. If we found a few genes that highly intelligent people had, and we started tweaking other people to have those same genes, would that be “artificial intelligence”?
