Superhuman Creators: How to create Creators that create Creators (and not regret doing it)

A Superhuman Creator is an artificial agent that is capable of creating something that no human has ever created, or is capable of creating. That “something” could be just about anything that you can imagine, and many things that you cannot even begin to imagine. In particular, it should be possible for Superhuman Creators to create new and improved versions of themselves. If it is in the realm of the possible, then it will eventually be in the realm of a Superhuman Creator. This book describes an approach to the creation of Superhuman Creators that is designed to ensure that they always behave in a socially acceptable manner – by making every Superhuman Creator an Accountable Conscientious Entity (ACE). It also introduces new theories of creativity and consciousness, for both humans and artificial entities. Superhuman Creators will bring about the so-called “technological singularity”, beyond which we cannot adequately predict the future. We may not be able to see past the singularity, but we can prepare for it now, while there is still time. Unless Superhuman Creators are properly constrained, they could lead us into a future in which we regret creating them. If you are interested in the future of humanity, this book is for you.
