Singularitarianism

Singularity describes the moment AI exceeds beyond human control and rapidly transforms society

Silicon Valley's favorite philosophy, long termism, has helped to frame the debate on artificial intelligence around the idea of human extinction.

But increasingly vocal critics are warning that the philosophy is dangerous, and the obsession with extinction distracts from real problems associated with AI like data theft and biased algorithms.

45% of Bulgarians believe that artificial intelligence will lead to job losses. 37% worry that it could replace human labor in their field. Nearly a fifth share the opinion that artificial intelligence should be banned because it poses a danger to humans.

Ljubljana – The opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence (AI) as well as Slovenia’s pioneering role in the field were discussed on Friday as the National Assembly’s delegation for cooperation with the OECD hosted a debate with experts to shed light on key issues.

A special event will be hosted at the Athens Concert Hall in November: the SingularityU Greece Summit.

Trying to get children to understand artificial intelligence is a feat in its own right. Explaining how it could one day become smarter than us is an entirely different challenge.

Supercomputers to Superintelligence

Where are we now?

We have come far in our pursuit of the perfect computer companion. From mastering games to running our homes, artificial intelligence (AI) has been steadily improving.
