Large language models become ubiquitous in work, education and creative professions.
Autonomous AI agents perform multi-step tasks without continuous human guidance.
AI systems conduct scientific research independently and publish discoveries.
The first AI systems achieve human-like, general cognitive abilities in virtually every domain.
AGI systems begin actively contributing to the design of their successors.
Countries sign international treaties to control the development of superintelligent AI.
AI surpasses the combined cognitive capacities of all of humanity in nearly every field.
Superintelligence fundamentally restructures the economy, science, and human existence.
Humanity and superintelligent AIs coexist in a fundamentally new form of civilization.
Where humans previously designed AI architectures, AI systems increasingly take the lead in research into better training methods, more efficient algorithms, and new neural network structures. This causes a feedback loop: every improvement accelerates the next. Scientists speak of the first signs of recursive self-improvement.
