Superintelligence means intelligence that surpasses human performance across many or all cognitive tasks. It sets a higher bar than artificial general intelligence (AGI), which generally refers to broad human-level capability. section 11.1
No clear practical test establishes when that bar has been crossed. AI already exceeds people at some individual tasks but still fails evaluations that people would consider common sense. Predictions about superintelligence therefore remain uncertain. Preparing for more powerful AI nevertheless raises concrete questions about safe development, regulation, energy infrastructure, and public AI literacy. section 11.1
