What Does Superintelligence Mean?
A superintelligence is an intelligence system that rapidly increases its intelligence in a short time, specifically, to surpass the cognitive capability of the average human being. Superintelligence has been used in science fiction, and in discussions around artificial intelligence, to understand some of the ramifications of a quickly evolving intelligence model in IT.
Techopedia Explains Superintelligence
Part of the idea of superintelligence is that certain kinds of artificial intelligence work are theoretically capable of triggering a “runaway reaction” where an artificial intelligence far exceeds human capacity for thought and starts to manipulate or control humans in specific ways. Superintelligence is tied to the idea of a “singularity,” which is based on the idea that a catalyst or trigger would cause rapid change beyond what humans can anticipate.
