Unless we are prejudiced to glorify the current form of Artificial Intelligence, we are deceiving ourselves in saying "Artificial Intelligence will replace or exceed Human Intelligence".
In the early period of the advent of computers, average humans were awestruck at the capability of computers, at the magnitude of information crunching that computers could do. If anything changed from then to now, it is the scale at which they can do the information processing and advent of better algorithms to process the information.
Now the pertinent question is "Is the scale of information processing & better algorithms define the Intelligence?" But humans are nowhere close to processing such volumes of information.
What about the sensory systems that humans possess - vision, hearing, smell, touch and taste. Wont these give a unique intelligence to not only humans but to all living things. When does "Artificial Intelligence" make use of them to make inferences and take decisions like we do.
In addition, as you mentioned, emotions, feelings, intentions are other aspects of intelligence that current AI lacks. By using the word "Intelligence" in "Artificial Intelligence", we are giving it more than its due.
