Artificial superintelligence is, for most of us I think, quite a scary thought. A human-like AI, far more intelligent and capable than any we've seen before, developed by companies that often seem unprepared (or uncaring) towards the potential knock-on effects of its deployment. Goody.

Still, we've been told by industry leaders like Mark Zuckerberg that artificial superintelligence is coming, and we should all be very excited.
