 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Superintelligence and intelligence explosion
Over the past half-century, artificial intelligence has grown rapidly in terms of both computational power, application, and mainstream usage. As written by Shi Zhongzhi, and observed by many others, "Artificial Intelligence attempts simulation, extension and expansion of human intelligence using artificial methodology and technology."[1]
Intelligence explosion is a possible outcome of future computer science and computer engineering research, and I. J. Good described the first superintelligent machine as "the last invention that man need ever make," because of the vast influence it would have on our species. Indeed, Nick Bostrom, in his book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, proposes the common good principle according to which superintelligence should be developed only for the benefit of all and based on widely shared ethical ideals.
Malo Bourgon, COO of MIRI, stated that the AI community should consider best practices from the computer security community when testing their systems for safety and security before they are released for wide adoption.
