Superintelligence
Superintelligence refers to a potential future where artificial intelligence becomes smarter than humans. This includes being faster, better at handling data, and solving complex problems more effectively.
Such AI wouldn’t just surpass human cognitive abilities but could also outperform us in intuition, creativity, and strategic thinking. This raises deep questions about how to control it, ensure it aligns with human values, and determine humanity’s role in a world where we are no longer the most intelligent beings.
