In the age of technological singularity

The term'singularity' has many meanings. In theoretical physics, singularity refers to a one dimensional point in space where the gravitational field becomes infinity. An example of this would be at the centre of a black hole, where the laws of physics cease to hold true. Technological singularity on the other hand, a term first attributed to John Von Neumann in the 1950s, refers to the hypothesis that machine intelligence will one day exceed human intellect. What this means is that, someday, Artificial Intelligence (AI) that constantly improves on its own can surpass human intelligence.
