In an effort to benefit in industries such as medicine and clean energy, Microsoft is working on developing AI superintelligence capabilities.
Mustafa Suleyman, Chief of Microsoft’s AI group, will lead the newly formed MAI Superintelligence Team which will develop so-called superintelligence AI models capable of going beyond artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Superintelligence refers to a theoretical form of AI which would not just match, but vastly exceed human intelligence across every domain of cognitive ability.
“If AGI is often seen as the point at which an AI can match human performance at all tasks, then superintelligence is when it can go far beyond that performance”, Suleyman wrote in a blog. He explained the MAI Superintelligence Team at Microsoft AI is dedicated to researching and building the world’s best superintelligence, grounded in humanist values.
“We’re working towards Humanist Superintelligence (HSI): incredibly advanced AI capabilities that always work for, in service of, people and humanity more generally,” he stated. “We think of it as systems that are problem-oriented and tend towards the domain specific. Not an unbounded and unlimited entity with high degrees of autonomy, but AI that is carefully calibrated, contextualised, within limits”.
