Will AGI be as smart or smarter than humans? That is unlikely; it could well be smarter than current AI, just much more general. Surpassing human intelligence will require another breakthrough called recursive self-improvement (RSI), in which AI completely masters computer programming, as it did with chess, and no longer requires human help to improve. RSI is often called “the singularity” and will quickly lead to an AI that is superintelligent — beyond human intelligence.
