Callaghan V., Miller J., Yampolskiy R., Armstrong S. (Eds.) The Technological Singularity: Managing the Journey

Springer, 2017. — 263 p. — (The Frontiers Collection). — ISBN: 978-3-662-54031-2.The technological singularity is based on the ongoing improvements in and power of artificial intelligence (AI) which, at some point, will enable intelligent machines to design successive generations of increasingly more powerful machines, eventually creating a form of intelligence that surpasses that of humans (Kurzweil 2006).
The technological singularity (or ‘singularity’ as I shall refer to it from hereon) is the actual point past which events are beyond the control of humans, resulting either in humans upgrading (with implants) to become cyborgs or with intelligent machines taking complete control. As well as being not particularly good news for ordinary humans, it is clearly an extremely critical point in time.Introduction to the Technological Singularity
