SuperintelligenceA superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence surpassing that of the most giftedhuman minds. Philosopher Nick Bostrom defines superintelligence as "any intellect that greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest". Technological researchers disagree about how likely present-day human intelligence is to be surpassed.

Existential risk from artificial intelligenceHypothesized risk to human existenceIt has been hypothesized that substantial progress in artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI) will lead to human extinction or an irreversible global catastrophe. One argument is that human beings dominate other species because the human brain possesses capabilities other animals lack. If AI were to surpass human intelligence and become superintelligent, it might become uncontrollable.
Technological singularityHypothetical eventThe technological singularity, often simply called the singularity, is a hypothetical event in which technological growth accelerates beyond human control, producing unpredictable changes in human civilization.AI capability controlIn the field of artificial intelligence (AI) design, AI capability control proposals, also referred to as AI confinement, aim to increase human ability to monitor and control the behavior of AI systems, including proposed artificial general intelligences (AGIs), in order to reduce dangers they might pose if misaligned.
