Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)
Artificial superintelligence is a hypothetical AI that greatly surpasses the best human minds in virtually every field, including science, strategy and social skills.
What is Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)?
ASI is often expected to follow AGI, possibly quickly through recursive self-improvement. Its potential to transform the economy and science, and the risk that it could be impossible to control, make it central to debates on existential risk and international governance.
How it works
Paths discussed include AGI improving its own design, running many fast copies and scaling compute beyond human brains.
