Comment by Eli Jacob Hadam Zucker

Current definitions of artificial superintelligence focus exclusively on computational performance, creating fundamental architecture flaws that threaten AI safety and human-AI alignment. I propose that empathy is not an optional feature but a definitional requirement for genuine superintelligence. Through analysis of contemporary AI empathy research, control theory limitations, and human-AI interaction studies, I argue that systems lacking authentic empathetic understanding cannot achieve true superintelligence and pose existential safety risks.
