superintelligent
Surpassingly smart entity
Superintelligent describes intelligence that vastly exceeds the cognitive abilities of the smartest humans across virtually all domains—scientific reasoning, creativity, social understanding, and problem-solving.
The term appears most often in discussions of artificial intelligence, where a superintelligent AI would be capable of recursive self-improvement and achievements beyond human comprehension.
Researchers debate whether a superintelligent machine could be controlled or even understood by its creators.
