ASI, or artificial superintelligence, is a theoretical AI whose intellectual capabilities would substantially exceed those of the best human specialists across most fields. Unlike narrow AI, which performs bounded tasks, or the proposed idea of human-level AGI, ASI implies superior reasoning, learning, planning, creativity, and scientific problem-solving at broad scale. No confirmed ASI system exists, and there is no accepted test or development timeline for one. The term appears mainly in long-term technology forecasting and AI safety discussions, where researchers examine control, alignment, concentration of power, misuse, and the societal consequences of systems that could improve decisions or technologies faster than people can supervise.
