ASI DEFINITION & FORECAST
What exactly is being forecast?
Singularity Compass defines Artificial Superintelligence as an artificial system — or tightly integrated system of systems — whose general cognitive capability substantially exceeds the best human capability across most domains that matter for science, technology and decision-making.

OPERATIONAL CRITERIA
Four properties that matter
Broad superiority
Substantially beyond the best humans across most strategically important cognitive domains, rather than on one benchmark.
Autonomous research
Able to generate hypotheses, use tools, run research loops and validate results with little human steering.
Cross-domain generalization
Knowledge and methods transfer reliably across science, engineering, software, strategy and unfamiliar tasks.
Self-acceleration
AI materially improves the research and engineering process that produces better future AI systems.
