Superarli

Superarli is a neologism used in speculative discussions of artificial intelligence to describe a class of systems that demonstrate sustained high adaptability, robust learning across tasks, and resilience in changing environments. The term does not correspond to any formal, widely adopted standard, and its precise definition varies by author.

In some framings, superarli encompasses agents that surpass human baselines on a broad range of tasks without task-specific tuning, while in others it denotes a theoretical limit of current learning architectures under certain constraints.

Origin and usage: The word appears in limited non-peer-reviewed writings and in some science-fiction contexts. There is no consensus on its etymology; informal derivations combine "super" with roots implying learning or adaptability, but none is official.

Characteristics: Proponents describe superarli systems as possessing meta-learning abilities, long-horizon planning, robust generalization, rapid adaptation to novel tasks, and resilience to distribution shifts. Critics argue that without clear benchmarks or definitions, the term risks ambiguity and may be used more as a rhetorical device than a technical category.

Relation to other concepts: It is often discussed in relation to artificial general intelligence (AGI), lifelong learning, meta-learning, and resilient automation.
