ASI

What exactly are we tracking?

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.

01

Broad superiority

Substantially beyond the best humans across most strategically important cognitive domains, not just one benchmark.

02

Autonomous research

Able to generate hypotheses, use tools, run research loops and validate results with little human steering.

03

Cross-domain generalization

Knowledge and methods transfer reliably across science, engineering, software, strategy and unfamiliar tasks.

04

Self-acceleration

AI materially improves the research and engineering that produces better future AI systems.

NOT ASI

A superhuman result on one benchmark, one scientific problem, one coding task or one robot demo is not ASI by itself.

NO SINGLE RELEASE DAY

ASI may emerge gradually across models, agents, tools and robotics. The observatory therefore tracks operational criteria rather than company labels.

PROBABILITY ≠ READINESS

Probability asks whether ASI will exist within a time horizon. Readiness asks how mature the direct enabling capabilities are today.
