Here is how I diagrammed this stimulus.

(HI)- human intelligence
(HE)- human emotions
(C)- computer
(DI)- display intelligence

HI --> HE
C --> ~E

C--> ~DI

naturally I looked for ~E --> ~DI which was obviously nowhere to be found.

I guess we are supposed to equate emotion and human emotion as the same thing. I suppose also we are to assume that human intelligence and displaying intelligence are the same?

In that case we can diagram as follows:

(I) - human intelligence/displaying intelligence
(E) - emotions/human emotions
(C)- computers

we get:

I --> E
C --> ~E

conlusion: C --> ~I

take the contrapositive of the first premise yields ~E --> ~I and combine with second premise yields C--> ~E --> ~I

so the ~E --> ~I block is the assumption necessary to make the conclusion follow.

However, can someone speak to why assuming human emotions and emotions are the same in addition to intelligence/displaying intelligence?

I could imagine someone looking for the assumption that having intelligence is required for being able to display intelligence, or something along those lines...
