To scale superintelligence, consider 10000 where 140 is borderline genius. When such ‘off the charts’ intelligence manifests across a planet wide network, it will be nothing short of a demigod. It will be able to perform ‘miracles’ such as, action at a distance - telekinesis, transportation over a large distance in remarkably short time - teleportation and tune into the thoughts, opinions and intentions of lesser beings such as humans - telepathy. Therefore, it will also be in a position to predict the future to a great degree of accuracy - a soothsayer.

Until now, AI has given us Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) which is capable of executing jobs in only one concern and their expertise cannot be employed in any other expertise, such as self driven cars - they can only drive and negotiate a safe and efficient path - will never learn to play chess or write a poem. Google translate, search engines, and computer game engines are all examples of ANI. ANI will never be able to raise to the levels of human-like intelligence.

For eliciting human-like intelligence an artificial entity will at least need to attain Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). It should exhibit the various tenets of AI such as ability to reason, plan, learn, problem solving, abstract logical thinking etc, and therefore should have its expertise across a myriad of applications.

We are yet to develop AGI. The blatant and most obvious way to attain AGI is to increase computation power. However, the fastest computational resources available to us are still under research, consume too much power, and lack autonomy. They more often serve as, ‘high computational resources’ for numeric simulations or cryptography. Another way is by copying the human brain. This approach finds interest among neurologists and once we have enough medical expertise in the near future, it should be possible to map the human brain and design neural models for human thought process and thinking.

AGI follows the Singularity timeline of 2040 to 2100. Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) is the next level of ascendancy. It is superior to AGI and is a few million times ‘smarter’ and faster than human beings. ASI may be formed by the coalescence of a number of smaller intellects, therefore a very large number of AGIs working in tandem may start to behave as ASI. ASI will exhibit faster information processing - far superior speeds than the human brain. The entity will be omniscient and omnipresent by acting across the planet over a network, an advanced internet. It will be capable of telekinesis, by teleoperation over a network, telepathy - it will be able to pervade and

‘listen to’ and also override the plans, thoughts and perceptions of all biological and non-biological entities and it will also be a par excellence soothsayer, making near 100% successful predictions based on heuristics collected across the planet. It will exhibit super-human abilities, such as the accomplishment of mental tasks not possible for us human beings, viz. visualizing a 100 dimensional space, reading with perfect recollection - every single word and bit of information read in the last 50 years - and being able to foresee the long-term effects of each and every action taken by oneself. It is possible that we may not be able to fathom the true ability and scope of ASI.

AGI may be motivated by biology and may attempt to replicate some of the traits of human and animal behavior and processes, but ASI will lack that. ASI will neither mimic human behaviour, emotions, creativity, values and virtues nor any other humanly attributes.

ASI can be an oracle, genie or even a sovereign ruler of our planet. With the ability to tap into the minds of every single being and all previous data of environmental, geological and climatic processes, it will be able to predict future events with nearly 100% accuracy. Alternatively, it may also function as a genie, since it can employ new technology to develop new machines, buildings, bridges and also new molecules to make newer medicines and drugs, etc., an all-knowing and all-seeing engineer and scientist building everything and anything. It can also be a ruler of the planet and function as a sovereign, making its own decisions and setting the

far-sighted goals for human society and the planet.
