This is one of the greatest questions. We can be sure that people will surrender their liberty as they have many times in the past, when it appears security and comfort can be gained. But every great leap in technology brings with it both risk and promise. As Kurzweil says--in the future computers will make convincing claims that they are conscious and intelligent, and we will believe them! I suspect we will see great things beyond our imagining today.

Why does general weider want to replace computers on missiles with human beings in the story the feeling of power?
General Weider wants to replace computers with human beings on missiles in "The Feeling of Power" because he believes that relying too much on computers has made people lose touch with basic mathematical skills. He believes that using human beings to perform the calculations will help them to maintain and improve their mathematical abilities. Additionally, Weider wants to remind people of the importance of nurturing and relying on their own intelligence and skills rather than relying solely on technology.

Can artificial intelligence be applied to living beings?
Depends on what you mean by living beings... Artificial intelligence as a definition applies strictly artificially produced forms of intelligence, i.e. computers, robots, etc. For instance, the person who first coined the term 'Artificial Intelligence", John McCarthy, defined it to mean "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines" (Wikipedia "Artificial Intelligence"). I suppose the philosophical question is: what are machines? Are they necessarily those hand-crafted pieces of metal and plastic? Or could a machine be more complex - a living creature that has never been able to process intelligent thoughts before (ex. an animal, to the best of our current knowledge) but is somehow given the capability through 'artificial intelligence engineering' to process thoughts? And how do we define intelligence? Is intelligence ultimately a natural ability to survive despite the odds? (Many animals are able to do this via body adaptations in extreme environments, without having an apparent "intelligence"). Food for thought!
What are the things done by human beings and computers?
Calculation, Both need energy for proper functioning.

What is intelligence used for?
Artificial Intelligence is something that has been achieved only to a very limited degree, and it remains a very difficult problem and a long-term goal of computer science. To the extent that we have created artificial intelligence, it is used to give computers capabilities to do things that previously could be done only by humans. A fully intelligent computer would be able to do any mental function that a human being could do, and many that human beings cannot do. This would enable a level of automation that is far beyond anything we can do today.
What are things that can be done by both computers and human beings?
both computer and humans can do work and solve problems in mathematics
