Claim and evidence Close ×
“Future Progress in Artificial Intelligence: A Survey of Expert Opinion” (2014) reports a survey result (Müller and Bostrom, survey of expert opinion): “systems will move on to superintelligence”; horizon as stated: in less than 30 years thereafter (after high-level machine intelligence); the question asked for probabilities "within (2 years / 30 years) thereafter". The record says nothing about whether the event happened. Copy claim link

Date 2014 · publication Records dated 2014 → Scope and limits The abstract's sentence summarises answers to a probability question, not a firm expectation: respondents chose a probability for each interval. The interval runs from the arrival of high-level machine intelligence, not from the survey date. The table's figures are given here in paraphrase.

Status and meaning Editorial status. Machine-checked . Machines found this record and checked it against its sources; no person accepted it individually. Each evidence record above shows how it was checked.
Relation. The document states a prediction: an event, by a date or within a horizon, in the document’s own words. The record is dated by the document, never by the target date. It documents what the text states and when; it says nothing about whether the event happened, and it implies no agreement or influence.
Date. Date of the survey report; when the survey was conducted is in the record’s survey details.
