Weekend Discussion Thread: Let's Wrap Our Minds Around the Concept of Superintelligent AI - eviltoast

Hey all! This weekend, let’s delve into the mind-boggling concept of superintelligent AI. What does it mean to have an intelligence surpassing our own? How would we even recognize it? Can our limited human comprehension grasp what it has to teach us?

Join in the discussion and share your thoughts, highlight interesting articles or simply engage in speculative fiction:

What investments in energy and raw materials will be required for developing superintelligent AI? Is it ethical to dedicate finite earth resources to developing superintelligent AI amidst the urgent backdrop of climate change?

Will this technology perpetuate societal inequalities? Or is superintelligence the answer to these (and other) global challenges?

Let’s explore who will have access to this superintelligence. Will those who can communicate with and interpret superintelligent AI attain a prophet-like social status? Will we need to develop other AI to interpret super AI for us?

Please do share your thoughts or pose your own questions - this should be a good one!
