Verification History

AI Verified Verified via web search. David Chalmers's "The Singularity: A Philosophical Analysis" (Journal of Consciousness Studies, 2010) contains the "Extension premise": "If there is AI, then there will be AI+ (soon after; absent defeaters)." Chalmers's framework defines AI as human-level and AI+ as greater than human level, with the singularity argument that soon after human-level AI we get more intelligent AI. The full quote with [...] elision correctly summarizes this central premise of his paper. Chalmers is correctly identified. Vote "for" aligns perfectly with the statement "AGI could quickly lead to superintelligence" — this is the core argument of Chalmers's paper.
