Genesis by Bernard Beckett takes an interesting look at these questions.
Blindsight by Peter Watts, to be honest, torqued my mind a bit. He comes at the question from the opposite point of view: What IS the human idea of the relationship between intelligence and consciousness and is it a rational use of resources? Could there be other intelligent life in the universe that functions in a way that we would call AI but would actually make more sense? Is human consciousness an anomaly that that is doomed to fail the evolutionary test of time?
Blindsight is available here at MR for free.
