Artificial Super Intelligence, ASI

Artificial Super Intelligence is where a computer exceeds humans across all human scale cognitive abilities and capacities. The aim is to vastly exceed human cognitive capacities, individually, and then eventually greater than the whole of humanity collectively!

It is thought by many that when a computer intelligence becomes truly generally intelligent (achieves AGI level) then it will be able to recursively self improve its own design and, if allowed access to sufficient resources, will hence quickly achieve super intelligence. This will result in a, so called, hard take off, or foom – where foom is the sound of a muffled AI explosion.
