We discuss possible paths to create a superintelligence, which is an artificial general intelligence (AGI) of immense intellectual capacity. We argue that the creation of the superintelligence has huge political/economic/cultural impacts on the world. There could be two approaches to creating AGI: the biological approach and the engineering one. In the former case, it is necessary to find the master algorithm operating in the human neocortex. We argue that a possible model of the master algorithm is a dynamical Bayesian network. In the latter approach, we are witnessing a big progress in Natural Language Processing AI such as Transformer, BERT, GPT-3 etc. which are exhibiting a glimpse of real human intelligence. We discuss that the key element is the attention mechanism.
