The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by Vernor Vinge – first in 1983 (in an article that claimed that once humans create intelligences greater than their own, there will be a technological and social transition similar in some sense to "the knotted space-time at the center of a black hole", [10]) and later in his 1993 essay ...
The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology is a 2005 non-fiction book about artificial intelligence and the future of humanity by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. A sequel book, The Singularity Is Nearer , was released on June 25, 2024.
A Belinski–Khalatnikov–Lifshitz (BKL) singularity is a model of the dynamic evolution of the universe near the initial gravitational singularity, described by an anisotropic, chaotic solution of the Einstein field equation of gravitation. [2]
In the world of artificial intelligence, the idea of “singularity” looms large. This slippery concept describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society.
Singularity (system theory), in dynamical and social systems, a context in which a small change can cause a large effect Gravitational singularity, in general relativity, a point in which gravity is so intense that spacetime itself becomes ill-defined
But Kurzweil says one crucial step on the way to a potential 2045 singularity is the concept of immortality, possibly reached as soon as 2030. And the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is what ...
Even if the singularity of the Big Bang can be omitted from the mathematical models, many other singularities remain ubiquitous in the history of the universe. Biological evolutionary history shows that not only mutations that give rise to microevolution can amount to singularities, but that macroevolutionary events that affect the entire ...
A different approach identifies the initial singularity as a singularity predicted by some models of the Big Bang theory to have existed before the Big Bang event. [ 23 ] [ clarification needed ] This primordial singularity is itself sometimes called "the Big Bang", [ 24 ] but the term can also refer to a more generic early hot, dense phase ...
