Superintelligence
A hypothetical intelligence that surpasses humans in every respect, discussed as the stage beyond AGI.
In plain words
Superintelligence is a hypothetical intelligence that surpasses the best humans in nearly every domain — science, strategy, creativity, and more. It's also called ASI (Artificial Superintelligence), and it's talked about as the next stage after AGI, which refers to human-level intelligence.
The concept doesn't exist yet, but it shows up in the news often — major labs have created "superintelligence readiness" teams, and some companies even put the word in their names. It's more accurate to read articles about it as forecasting, investment, or philosophical debate rather than straightforward tech reporting.
