Superintelligence, sometimes referred to as Artificial Superintelligence (ASI), is an AI system that can outperform the best humans on any cognitive task. Unlike Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), which operates at the level of the average human, ASI far surpasses human capabilities.

Existential Risks of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)

  • Due to its power, many researchers believe ASI could pose a risk of human extinction.

  • Estimates for the probability of human extinction from advanced AI, aka “p(doom)” vary. Elon Musk and Geoffrey Hinton have estimated p(doom) to be between 10% and 20%.

  • Even a 10% risk of human extinction is far too high.

Potential Benefits of ASI

  • If developed safely, ASI could benefit humanity, enhancing life in countless ways.

Efforts to Reduce the Risks of ASI: Inventions for Safe Superintelligence

  • Dr. Craig A. Kaplan has developed inventions to improve the safety of Superintelligence.

  • These inventions are summarized on SuperIntelligence.com and are freely available for those interested in ASI safety.

Research by Ilya Sutskever and Team

  • Ilya Sutskever, Daniel Gross, and Daniel Levy are also working to design safe superintelligence systems; learn more about their efforts at Safe Superintelligence Inc.

Videos on AI Safety and System Design

  • iQ Company provides many resources, including videos on AI safety and designing safe Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and ASI systems.
