Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #6351 Superintelligence
Instructions
A  superintelligence  is  any  intellect  that  vastly  outperforms  the  best  human  brains  in  practically  every  field,  including  scientific  creativity,  general  wisdom,  and  social  skills.  This  definition  leaves  open  how  the  superintelligence  is      it  could  be  in  a  digital  computer,  an  ensemble  of  networked  computers,  cultured  cortical  tissue,  or  something  else.
On  this  definition,  Deep  Blue  is  not  a  superintelligence,  since  it  is  only  smart  within  one  narrow  domain  (chess),  and  even  there  it  is  not  vastly  superior    the  best  humans.  Entities  such  as  corporations  or  the  scientific  community  are  not  superintelligences  either.  Although  they  can  perform  a  number  of  intellectual  feats    which  no  individual  human  is  capable,  they  are  not    integrated  to  count  as  intellects,  and  there  are  many  fields  in  which  they  perform  much  worse  than  single  humans.  For  example,  you  cannot  have  a  real-time  conversation  with  the  scientific  community.
