// MODEL OPTIMIZATION AND PROMPT SYNTAX TERM
Superintelligence
A hypothetical AI that is vastly more intelligent than the smartest human beings in virtually every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom, and social skills.
TECHNICAL DEFINITION
Superintelligence is a hypothetical form of artificial intelligence that qualitatively and quantitatively surpasses human cognitive capabilities across virtually all intellectual domains, including problem-solving, learning, and creativity, posing profound implications for humanity's future, including potential existential risks if not properly aligned.
BACKGROUND
Existential risk from artificial intelligence, or AI x-risk, refers to the idea that substantial progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI) could lead to human extinction or an irreversible global catastrophe.
