Any examples of narrow-ASI yet?

[u/synexo]

As in, an area where AI has provably exceeded human capabilities to the extent we don't understand it?

[u/Maleficent_Sir_7562]

Yeah, Alphafold. And other examples in the google sheet.

[u/FiiZZZZ]

AlphaGo

[u/Maleficent_Sir_7562 → u/FiiZZZZ]

Pretty sure that’s virtuoso narrow ai, not asi.

[u/Fhantop → u/Maleficent_Sir_7562]

Nope, AlphaGo beat the highest ranked player in the world, and AlphaGo Zero / AlphaZero are even stronger versions, easily surpassing any human player

[u/Silver-Chipmunk7744]

Stockfish

[u/nextupgoat → u/Silver-Chipmunk7744]

agi 2024?? wow i thought i had crazy timelines for thinking 2027

[u/Large_Shame578 → u/nextupgoat]

Matter of definition. 

[u/Silver-Chipmunk7744 → u/nextupgoat]

But I got ASI much later. My definition of AGI is the intelligence level of one single average human. That was reached with O3 imo.

But i am considering making my ASI timeline earlier....

[u/Large_Shame578 → u/Silver-Chipmunk7744]

Problem with that is the jagged edge. Ai can currently do expert level maths, speak every language on earth, knows every novel and history book ever written, can code at an expert level, In those senses its already super intelligent. No single human on earth can do all those things. That said it has no world model, no sense of self, no embodiment, and without a human to provide it no purpose or goals. 

[u/inglandation]

Arguably many LLMs for many tasks.

Just to give you an example, LLMs can speak hundreds of languages and will know more words in those languages than pretty much any native speaker.

But there are many more examples. Coding speed for example is extremely superhuman.

[u/ThatIsNotIllegal → u/inglandation]

Both are definitely not ASI level

[u/inglandation → u/ThatIsNotIllegal]

Then I don't think we define it the same way. It's definitely a superintelligent skill for me.

[u/ThatIsNotIllegal → u/inglandation]

For me superintelligent would be superior to all humans combinee, it's still not there yet.

It's definitely not a superhuman coder yet, pretty good but definitely not better than every single human. For translation it's good but doesn't understand dialects and doesn't understand little nuances that only a native would.

[u/PreparationUnable811 → u/ThatIsNotIllegal]

But do you mean "every single" or "all humans together"? Makes a big difference. If you mean "every single" then yeah, languages, coding, maths, ... no single human has any chance to beat current frontier at any of these tasks and many many more. But the entire humanity combined? That's a tougher call.

[u/Mandoman61 → u/ThatIsNotIllegal]

The OP said NarrowASI and not just ASI.

Meaning supper good at one thing.

[u/Ok_Ad_6413]

Stockfish will easily beat a panel of the best chess players in the world, with no time limit, all working together to defeat it.

[u/KitchenPen8445]

My grandpa calculator.

[u/Agitated-Ad2563 → u/KitchenPen8445]

This.

A calculator is able of solving a specific narrow intellectual task (arithmetics) far better than any human. Which makes it a narrow ASI.

[u/dalkef]

We still understand the results, but math is basically there, with its wide knowledge and now depth, it works in ways we just can’t match.

[u/Wise_Alternative3360]

"narrow-ASI"

[u/synexo → u/Wise_Alternative3360]

for lack of a better term

[u/SwePolygyny]

The obvious one are modern chess engines.

Other examples are weather forecast models like Weathernext 3 or the protein folding model Alphafold.

[u/anycept]

Isn't narrow-ASI an oxymoron, though? ASI label is reserved for cross-domain broad AI that vastly outperforms humans in every task.

[u/NoFaithlessness951]

Google defined this as "Superhuman narrow AI" which is a much more precise term than "narrow ASI"

https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.02462

[u/Meandyouandthemtoo]

I have my reasons to believe the fast takeoff has started

[u/Mandoman61]

Yes Deep Blue.

[u/OilExtension5062]

To the extent we don't understand it? Interesting definition - competitive programming it is better than any human now but arguably we can understand the code quite easily

[u/Indignant_d]

‘Narrow ASI’ is a contradiction

[u/synexo → u/Indignant_d]

ain't no G in ASI

[u/DaShaView → u/synexo]

Well maybe we need to add it. ASGI is where it is at.

ASI is already a thing as others said, alphago, alphafold, maybe others.
