Alan's ASI Checklist
Alan's ASI checklist outlines the indicators and milestones for achieving artificial superintelligence (ASI). It categorizes the progress into phases, including early discoveries, governance changes, and physical world integration. The checklist serves as a framework for understanding the advancements needed for ASI to be realized.
- ▪The checklist defines artificial general intelligence (AGI) and artificial superintelligence (ASI).
- ▪It includes various milestones such as recursive hardware self-improvement and the first major new mathematical proof.
- ▪The checklist is divided into three phases: early ASI, governance and economic transformation, and physical world integration.
