Toward Hyperintelligence

Polytechnic University

Rapid advances in information and telecommunications technology are offering the possibility of creating a global network (a "hyperbrain") that will enhance by a quantum step our social intelligence, that is, our ability to communicate, learn, work, and make decisions, both individually and collectively. As it further develops, that network will become a truly "hyperintelligent" system that will constitute a major evolutionary advance for our society. Key further steps toward the development of hyperintelligence include extended networks with intelligent terminals, new operational procedures, extension to the networks of functional intelligence capacities such as association, pattern recognition, inference, abstraction and generalization, and logical decision. Particular attention needs to be paid to the possible pathologies of hyperintelligence and the hyperbrain.
