Superintelligence is the next frontier for artificial intelligence, with major companies investing heavily in its development. Industry leaders like Eric Schmidt note that electricity availability will be a crucial challenge, requiring an additional 92 gigawatts of power in the U.S. to support this technological shift. Superintelligence aims to exceed human cognitive performance in multiple domains, promising significant societal changes. Wall Street is captivated by the potential of AI for efficiency and problem-solving, driving competition for AI talent among top tech firms.
"Superintelligence is intelligence beyond the sum of all humans," Eric Schmidt, former CEO and chairman of Google, wrote. "It is reasonable to predict that we are going to have specialized AI savants in every field within five years. Now imagine their capabilities and how they will change society and our day-to-day lives."
According to researcher Nick Bostrom, "greatly exceeds the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest" describes the goal of superintelligence development.
"AI's natural limit is electricity, not chips," Schmidt said. "The U.S. is currently expected to need another 92 gigawatts of power to support the AI revolution. For reference, one gigawatt is roughly the equivalent of one nuclear power plant."
The value of artificial intelligence-automating repetitive tasks, boosting efficiency, and solving extremely complex problems-has Wall Street salivating.
