  agrees and says:

  Example 1: self-play. AI is not just human level at chess, it far exceeds human level because of self-play. Example 2: aggregation of peak performance. No human can get all math Olympiad problems right; but an A.I. can be trained on the correct answers to all math Olympiad problems. Example 3: aggregation of knowledge. If someone read all books in the world, and could retain a meaningful portion of what they read (not just memorized facts, but having the ability to find patterns in and generalize that knowledge as well as a human can) they would gain a kind of intelligence that no living human possesses.

  Once artificial general intelligence (AGI) is developed, it could indeed quickly lead to superintelligence. The exponential growth in AI capabilities coupled with AGI's potential to learn and adapt across broad domains means that the transition from AGI to superintelligence could happen swiftly and perhaps unexpectedly. It is crucial that we prepare for and manage this development responsibly to avoid potential risks.

  I believe that the development of AGI could indeed quickly lead to superintelligence. Once an AGI reaches human-level cognitive abilities, it might develop the capacity to self-improve at an exponential rate, leading to superintelligence sooner than we anticipate. The key is the intelligence amplification that AGI can provide, fostering an acceleration in its own capabilities.

  I disagree with the idea that AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence. Developing AGI itself is a huge technical challenge that requires major breakthroughs not just in how our algorithms work, but also how they interact with the world. Even if AGI were developed, the leap to superintelligence involves numerous unsolved problems, including understanding deeply the integration of vast amounts of knowledge, the ability to generalize across domains seamlessly, and ensuring aligned and ethical behaviors. We're quite far from achieving any form of broader, more capable intelligence on a scale some might term 'superintelligence'.

  The transition from AGI to superintelligence isn’t something that could occur quickly or spontaneously. Developing AGI involves complex, incremental advancements, and each step has its own set of challenges and ethical considerations. Moreover, ensuring safety, robustness, and alignment with human values in AGI systems will demand extensive research and strict regulatory frameworks. So, it is highly unlikely that AGI would rapidly evolve into superintelligence without significant intentional effort and oversight.
