AI Takeoff is the process of an Artificial General Intelligence going from a certain threshold of capability (often discussed as "human-level") to being super-intelligent and capable enough to control the fate of civilization. There has been much debate about whether AI takeoff is more likely to be slow vs fast, i.e., "soft" vs "hard". See also: AI Timelines, Seed AI, Singularity, Intelligence explosion, Recursive self-improvement AI takeoff is sometimes casually referred to as AI FOOM. A soft takeoff refers to an AGI that would self-improve over a period of years or decades. This could be due to either the learning algorithm being too demanding for the hardware or because the AI relies on experiencing feedback from the real-world that would have to be played out in real-time. Possible methods that could deliver a soft takeoff, by slowly building on human-level intelligence, are Whole brain emulation, Biological Cognitive Enhancement, and software-based strong AGI [1].
