What is the Technological Singularity?

The technical singularity is a view summarized based on the history of technological development, and believes that an unavoidable event will occur in the future: technological development will occur in a very short period of time, which will bring about nearly infinite progress. It is generally envisaged that technological singularities are triggered by the emergence of machine intelligence or other forms of superintelligence that surpass humans today and that can evolve on their own. Because its intelligence is far superior to that of today's humans, the development of technology will completely exceed the ability of all humans to understand, and it will not even be able to warn of its occurrence. The reason why it is called a singularity is that the physical properties of a black hole generated when physics approaches gravity to infinity are beyond the range that can be predicted by normal models.

Technical singularity

(Technical term)

"Our future is not going to undergo evolution anymore, but to go through an explosion."

-Ray Cuttsville

The earliest realization of the rapid development of human technology was the Polish mathematician Stanislaw Ulam in a conversation with computer scientist von Neumann in 1945. And IJ Goode proposed in 1965 to create a calculator that rivals humans in computing power. The calculator will begin to surpass humans on a large scale in all aspects, leaving humans far behind. He claims that this will be the last invention that humans need to make.

1993,

Proponents of some technical singularities have concluded that technical singularities will inevitably arrive based on the summary and induction of historical data. Polish mathematician Stanislaw Ulam and computer scientist von Neumann in 1945 For the first time in the development dialogue, the term "technical singularity" was placed in the context of technological development:

"Our conversation focused on the continuous development of technology and the changes it has brought to human life. These developments and changes seem to have brought humans to a stage that can be called the singularity of human history. Human society and life patterns will no longer be able to continue. "

Most scientists who believe in this theory believe that this will happen between 2005 and 2100. Development can be so rapid that most people have already happened without realizing it. Opponents believe that technology will stop at a certain time. However, Ray Cuttsville emphasized:

The significance of reaching a singularity in a mathematical model can be explained by the Evolutionary Paradigm Hierarchy. This ladder emphasizes that mathematics is the most macro

If it must happen, the significance of the technical singularity is very far-reaching. The relationship between humans and the universe seems to be redefined. If technical singularities occur, then some

If most of the habitable planets in the universe produce something like

If technology is described as a mechanism that constantly breaks through the limitations that exist in various worlds, and the mathematical limits close to the top are based on logic, then logic itself is a limitation. In other words, time itself is a limitation. If we can break through the logical limit of time, then we should live in the world created by humans in the future. Having said that, we are the ancestors of future humans, but future humans are our creators. In other words, the original cause of the Big Bang and the breakthrough of time constraints can see the past, present, and future of all possible future infinite technological progress of the same person, or we can not distinguish them. Interestingly, if

At present, the two most authoritative Singularity Institutes for Artificial Intelligence and Acceleration Studies Foundation are located in the United States. The Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence was announced in 2000 and has incorporated Ray Cuttsville as its honorary chairman. The goal is to develop the first Seed AI. The world's first technical singularity conference was held in May 2006.
