Superintelligence refers to a hypothetical form of intelligence that far exceeds the best human capabilities across many domains. The term may describe an agent or system with superior reasoning, planning, creativity, scientific ability, or problem-solving capacity.
A hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds. Superintelligence may also refer to a property of problem-solving systems (e.g., superintelligent language translators or engineering assistants) whether or not these high-level intellectual competencies are embodied in agents that act within the physical world. A superintelligence may or may not be created by an intelligence explosion and be associated with a technological singularity.
A theoretical form of AI that has intelligence greater than humans and exceeds their cognitive performance in most domains. See also artificial general intelligence.
