Humans have bred dogs from wolves. There are some dogs that have language and problem solving skills that are comparable with human children. They also have a friendly attitude to humans. Dogs are our first AI. An uplifted animal is another way AI can happen.

Direct brain to brain communication migh produce a meta-consciousness not found in the original brains.

This could work with somekind of human-machine connection as well. I remember reading a paper in computational neuroscience, where they hooked an eels brain to a simple machine and created a loop of machineinput - eelinput - eeloutput - machineoutput. So the eel received perceptual information from the robot and then gave actions to the robot to move.
