Superintelligence (ASI)
Concept
Future & AGI
Beyond human-level — the explicit goal several labs now name.
You're looking at a concept explainer: what this term means in plain English, and the records it ties together.
Superintelligence — systems far surpassing the best humans at essentially everything — moved from Bostrom's 2014 book to corporate mission statements: Meta Superintelligence Labs, Safe Superintelligence Inc, OpenAI's stated pivot. Whether it follows AGI quickly (fast takeoff via AI doing AI research) or slowly, and whether it can be controlled at all, is the deepest disagreement in the field's serious literature.
