Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): When Intelligence Surpasses Human Thinking

What would it mean if artificial intelligence someday surpassed human thinking across a wide range of fields? How could such a development affect education, science, work, security, and the decisions that shape our lives?

Artificial Superintelligence (ASI): When Intelligence Surpasses Human Thinking introduces readers to one of the most important questions about the future of AI. Written in clear language, this book explains how ASI differs from the specialized AI systems available today and from the still-debated concept of artificial general intelligence (AGI).

Readers explore possible benefits and risks, including scientific discovery, human oversight, safety, privacy, accountability, and governance. The book carefully separates established knowledge and current research from expert predictions and hypothetical future scenarios. It does not assume that ASI already exists or predict when it will be developed.

Part of Module 3 of the IntelliGloss Educational Series, this book is designed for Grade 12 students, college and university learners, educators, administrators, policymakers, and other readers who want to examine advanced AI with curiosity and critical thinking
