Technological Singularity: Fundamentals and Applications
About this audiobook
What Is Technological Singularity
The technological singularity, also referred to as simply the singularity, is an imagined point in the not-too-distant future at which the rate of technology advancement will become unmanageable and unreversible, bringing about shifts in human society that cannot be predicted. An upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, where each new and more intelligent generation appears more and more rapidly, causing a "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence, according to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, which is I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model. In this model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction."
