David Silver: Abandon Human Data, Achieve Superintelligence Within Three Years
1 reports · 1 sources
David Silver, lead programmer of AlphaGo and co-founder of Ineffable Intelligence, proposed in a Sequoia Capital podcast interview that we should abandon the strong priors brought by trillion-scale human knowledge datasets and instead take the superlearner route, and gave two predictions: strong evidence that this route is feasible within one year, and superintelligence within three years. He shortened his original estimate of three to five years to three years, citing the acceleration of research by coding agents as the reason. By his definition, superintelligence is a system capable of autonomously discovering knowledge far beyond the known human level in all fields such as science, mathematics, technology, and language. Silver acknowledged that these ideas are still at a stage requiring extensive research.
