Informatica Journal – Call for Special Issue on Superintelligence – Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies

Since the inception of the field of artificial intelligence, a prominent goal has been to create computer systems that would reason as capably as humans across a wide range of fields. Over the last decade, this goal has been brought closer to reality. Machine learning systems have come to excel in many signal processing tasks and have achieved superhuman performance in learning tasks including the games of Go and Heads-up Poker. More broadly, we have seen large changes in every pore of our society. This remarkable progress raises the question of how the world may look if the field of artificial intelligence eventually succeeds in creating highly capable general purpose reasoning systems. In particular, it has been hypothesized that such advances may lead to the development of a superintelligent agent one whose capabilities greatly exceed humans across virtually all domains of interest.
