## Technical summaries
- A superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses [[intelligence]] surpassing that of the brightest and most gifted human minds, ranging from marginally smarter than the upper limits of human-level intelligence to vastly exceeding human cognitive capabilities. "Superintelligence" may also refer to a property of problem-solving systems (e.g., superintelligent language translators or engineering assistants) whether or not these high-level intellectual competencies are embodied in agents that act in the world. A superintelligence may or may not be created by an [[intelligence explosion]] and associated with a technological [[singularity]].

AIXI is a theoretical model of artificial intelligence that combines [[decision theory ]]and [[algorithmic information theory]] to make optimal decisions by considering all possible computable models of the environment, updating them based on past experiences, and selecting actions that maximize expected future rewards.
