Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is where things get really exciting, or really scary, depending on your viewpoint. ASI defines an intelligence that surpasses the intellectual ability, knowledge, creativity, wisdom, and social skills of the very best human brains in almost every field. An ASI could be just 1% smarter or a million times smarter than the smartest human. In theory, an ASI machine that we build could design future, more powerful machines that operate in a way we aren't able to comprehend. Once ASI is achieved, rapid, runaway advances could follow. If that idea makes you uncomfortable, you're not alone. Exemplars of the high-tech and scientific world—including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Stephen Hawking—have all spoken out on the dangers of artificial super intelligence. It's hard not to think of the movie Terminator when you think about the professed dangers of AI becoming self-aware and designing better versions of itself. How engineers develop narrow AIs today may inform the design of super AIs in the future. This is why research and engineering focused on transparent and unbiased AIs is so vital.
