In Beyond AI I have a taxonomy (and Kurzweil picked that chapter, among 
others, to post on his site). in brief:

Hypohuman AI -- below human ability and under human control
Diahuman AI -- somewhere in the human range (which is large!)
Epihuman AI -- smarter/more capable than human, but equivalent to a 
moderate-sized company (of very smart people)
Hyperhuman AI -- equivalent to or better than all humans working in a given 
subject area

and two involving a design stance rather than a capability level

Parahuman AI -- designed to work alongside humans and relate
Allohuman AI -- optimized for other things in ways that humans have a harder 
time relating to
