philosophers, futurologists and artificial intelligence researchers have
conjectured that <b>in the next 20 to 200 years a machine capable of at least
human level performance on all tasks will be developed</b>. Since such a
machine would among other things be capable of designing the next generation of
even smarter intelligent machines, it is generally assumed that an intelligence
explosion will take place shortly after such a technological self-improvement
cycle begins. While specific predictions regarding the consequences of such an
intelligence singularity are varied from potential economic hardship to the
complete extinction of the humankind, many of the involved researchers agree
that the issue is of utmost importance and needs to be seriously addressed.
This book, “<u>Artificial Superintelligence: A Futuristic Approach</u>”
will directly address this issue and consolidate research aimed at <b>making
sure that emerging superintelligence is beneficial to humanity</b>.</font></span></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
