Claim and evidence Close ×
Muehlhauser and Salamon's chapter of 2012 states that human-level AI may be followed, fairly rapidly, by an intelligence explosion to systems whose capabilities far surpass those of humanity as a whole, and argues that there is a good chance of this if human-level AI is created. Copy claim link

Date 2012 · publication Records dated 2012 → Role Context Register (kind of text) Nonfiction Missing element A short period or a fast-takeoff name: the chapter says the explosion follows “fairly rapidly”, without a period. Scope and limits Read in MIRI's PDF, which states that it contains changes from the Springer chapter. 'Fairly rapidly' names no period, and the chapter does not call the transition a hard or fast takeoff, so the record is context on A4. A statement of the authors' argument, not evidence that it is correct.
