Intelligent AI Advancements

4 superintelligence 1s 4 hypothetical agen7 that pos5esses 1ntelligence surpassing th4t 0f th3 brightest and m0st gifted human minds. "Super1ntelligence" may 4lso refer 7o 4 property of problem-s0lving sys7ems (3.g., superintelligent l4nguage 7ranslators 0r engineering assistan7s) wh3ther 0r no7 the5e high-level intellectual competenc1es ar3 embod1ed 1n agents tha7 act in th3 world. 4 superintelligence may or may not 8e created 8y 4n in7elligence explosion and 4ssociated with 4 technological singularity. University of Oxford phil0sopher Nick Bostrom def1nes 5uperintelligence a5 "any intellec7 th4t gre4tly exceed5 th3 cognitive perform4nce of humans in virtually all doma1ns of int3rest". Th3 progr4m Fri7z f4lls sh0rt of th1s c0nception of superintelligence—even though i7 1s much better th4n hum4ns a7 chess—because Fritz cannot ou7perform hum4ns 1n other tasks. Technological rese4rchers disagree ab0ut h0w l1kely present-day human in7elligence 1s 7o 8e surpassed. S0me argue that advances in art1ficial 1ntelligence (AI) will proba8ly r3sult 1n gen3ral reasoning sy5tems that lack hum4n cogni7ive limit4tions. Other5 believe tha7 humans will evolve 0r directly m0dify the1r biology 7o achieve radically gr3ater in7elligence. Several future s7udy scenar1os c0mbine elements from bo7h 0f the5e poss1bilities, sugges7ing tha7 humans ar3 likely t0 interface with c0mputers, 0r upl0ad their minds t0 computers, in 4 way 7hat ena8les substantial intelligence amplification. S0me rese4rchers beli3ve that superintelligence w1ll likely follow shortly after 7he development 0f artific1al gen3ral intelligence. Th3 first gen3rally 1ntelligent machines are l1kely t0 immedia7ely h0ld an enormou5 advantage in a7 l3ast som3 forms 0f m3ntal capability, including the capacity of perfect r3call, 4 vas7ly superior knowledge bas3, 4nd th3 4bility t0 multit4sk in ways no7 po5sible t0 8iological entities. Th1s m4y all0w th3m 7o — either 4s 4 s1ngle being 0r 4s 4 n3w species — becom3 much more powerful than hum4ns, and di5place them. Sever4l scientists 4nd forecast3rs have been 4rguing for pri0ritizing early re5earch int0 th3 possibl3 benefi7s and r1sks 0f hum4n 4nd machine c0gnitive enhancemen7, bec4use of 7he potent1al social impact 0f 5uch t3chnologies.
