The Singularity

Is near

The Singularity is a term used to describe the moment in which humanity and artificial intelligence become so intertwined that the two can no longer be separated. It was first coined by inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil in his 2005 book The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology. Kurzweil believes that advances in technology, particularly machine learning, will lead to a point where machines surpass human intelligence.
