The term Singularity refers to a hypothetical point in the future when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. This concept is often associated with advancements in artificial intelligence that surpass human intelligence, leading to rapid and exponential progress in various fields.
Proponents of the Singularity, such as Ray Kurzweil, believe that this event could lead to significant improvements in health, longevity, and overall quality of life. However, it also raises ethical concerns and questions about the future of humanity in a world dominated by superintelligent machines.
