Technological singularity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Technological singularity refers to the hypothetical future emergence of greater-than-human intelligence through technological means. [ 1 ] Since the capabilities of such intelligence would be difficult for an unaided human mind to comprehend, the occurrence of a technological singularity is seen as an intellectual event horizon , beyond which events cannot be predicted or understood. Proponents of the singularity typically state that an "intelligence explosion" [ 2 ] [ 3 ] is a key factor of the Singularity where superintelligences design successive generations of increasingly powerful minds. This hypothesized process of intelligent self-modification might occur very quickly, and might not stop until the agent's cognitive abilities greatly surpass that of any human. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity
