David Silver predicts superintelligence within three years

An interviewer wrote in October 2026 that Silver predicts “true superintelligence” within three years. Silver's lab, Ineffable Labs, aims to build a “super learner” that learns from simulated or physical experience without internet pretraining. The interviewer says Silver expects rapid progress if researchers find the right approach and remove humans from the development loop. The lab plans to gate real-world deployment on evidence that it goes well.
