Technological Singularity

Objectives

  • To explore the concept of the technological singularity.
  • To identify the driving forces driving exponential growth leading up to a singularity.
  • To highlight the basis of predictions made by technologists like Ray Kurzweil.

Key Concepts

  • Technological Singularity
  • Exponential Growth
  • Artificial Intelligence

Module overview

The technological singularity is a point in the future where exponentially growing technologies will usher in an age of greater than human intelligence and increasing merger between biological and artificial intelligence.

Is such a future really possible? Is our technology really advancing that rapidly?  If so, what are the driving forces behind it? What is the basis of predictions made by technologists like Ray Kurzweil? How can we understand that the Singularity will lead to? This module will answer these questions and many more.
