AI could also grow along with the path of genetic engineering, which could lead to a population of genetically enhanced individuals who together make up a “collective superintelligence.” This scenario might include cyborgs and systems like an “intelligent web.”
As science’s exploration of superintelligence progresses, more questions arise. For instance, how might different efforts to create superintelligence compete with each other? An ancillary question is what the consequences might be if a front-running technology gained a “decisive strategic advantage.” An artificial intelligence project might achieve such an advantage by reinforcing its dominance in a way human organizations cannot.
