AI’s impact on systems, security, and decision-making is already permanent. Superintelligence, often referred to as artificial superintelligence (ASI), describes a theoretical stage in which AI capability exceeds human cognitive performance across domains. Whether current systems are progressing toward cybersecurity superintelligence remains uncertain. ASI is still a theoretical concept, but it is often discussed in the context of future advances in technology. That is why questions about control and what it could mean for people and society keep coming up. It is often described as a kind of tireless, extremely capable intelligence, more like a near-perfect supercomputer with the ability to process large volumes of information at high speed and precision. With that kind of capability, people imagine ASI helping humans make better decisions and tackle problems across healthcare, finance, research, government, and other industries.
