Artificial superintelligence (ASI) is a topic of the future that is being discussed primarily in the areas of artificial intelligence, digital transformation and automation.
ASI refers to a form of artificial intelligence that not only performs tasks more efficiently than humans, but is also superior to them in all intellectual areas. This means that ASI could solve problems independently, think creatively, learn and even develop new technologies - far beyond what today's computers or even experienced humans can do.
An illustrative example: Imagine you had a digital assistant that could not only manage your entire company, but could also plan and implement innovations independently. This assistant would analyse markets better, optimise business models or even address social challenges such as climate change more effectively than any human team.
Artificial superintelligence (ASI) does not yet exist. Researchers are working on it, but there are many ethical and safety-related questions. It is important for decision-makers to understand: ASI could fundamentally change our world - the opportunities and risks are equally great.
