What is Singularity?

The technological singularity is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unpredictable changes to human civilization. It's often associated with the rise of superintelligent AI which could recursively improve itself without human intervention, leading to an intelligence explosion. This rapidly escalating intelligence could then surpass human capabilities in unforeseen ways. The singularity is a subject of much debate, with proponents believing it represents an opportunity for unprecedented progress and critics warning of potential existential risks.
