Gravitational singularity

Technology plays a major role in our everyday life, and has caused numerous advantages, and disadvantages that have reshaped the world and the methods we use. Thomas L. Friedman, a New York Times author and three-time Pulitzer winner, combined his studies, travels, and many interviews with high and low placed movers, to create this book, Thank you for being late. He explains technology and humans’ involvement with it, or as he explicitly describes it “The three largest forces on the planet—technology

About nine years ago I discovered a book called The Age of Spiritual Machines by a man named Ray Kurzweil that demanded my immediate interest. I was captivated by his view of the future of technology - astoundingly positive and bright compared to most peoples’ negative or dystopian outlook when it comes to the dangers of a society increasingly reliant on machines and technology. I recently had the privilege of watching Spike Jonze’s 2013 movie her. While focusing on the personal aspect of a man

Good and Neumann theorized of an “intelligence explosion,” now known as the technology singularity, resulting from intelligent machines’ designing their next generation without human intervention. This idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown immensely and is a common topic amongst scholars, scientists, and theorists in the mathematic and scientific world. “ The key idea underlying the impending Singularity is that the pace of change of our human-created technology is accelerating and its powers

column, Computers vs. Brains on the Opinionator of The New York Times, Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang analyzed some of the arguments by inventor Raymond Kurzweil, one of the leading inventors of our time, in his most recent futurist manifesto: “The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology” (2005). Kurzweil estimates that machines will inevitably be able to surpass our thinking capabilities within a few decades. Kurzweil's speculative reasoning has been heavily debated and challenged. In Aamodt

The rapid evolution of how we investigate queries or entertain our children is creating vast demographic gaps as small as three years as technology is seemingly enveloping our way of life, communication and how we portray ourselves. Throughout time, we, as a human race, have always tried to transcend our limitations by developing tools to ensure our dominance and advancement to better our society. However I believe it has come to the point where our rapid development of Information technology throughout

In a world that is so reliant on technology, it is hard - if not impossible - to imagine a time without it. Technology and artificial intelligence (or AI) have not only become a tool, but an extension of ourselves. Our own present-day evolution may be difficult to witness or track, but we can measure our growth through our advances in technology. Like everything humans might encounter or create, technology has the potential to harm us - the same tools we utilize for the greater good of our society

Zoltan Istvan not long ago spoke at the Artificial Intelligence and The Singularity Conference in Oakland, California. There was a huge turnout of speakers, including AI specialists Peter Voss and Monica Anderson, New York University educator Gary Marcus, science fiction author Nicole Sallak Anderson, and futurist Scott Jackisch. We were all fascinated in how the introduction of artificial intelligence will impact the world. My subject was "The Morality of an Artificial Intelligence Will be Different

Recently there was a speech at the Artificial Intelligence and The Singularity Conference in Oakland, California. There was a great lineup of speakers, including AI experts Peter Voss and Monica Anderson, New York University professor Gary Marcus, sci-fi writer Nicole Sallak Anderson, and futurist Scott Jackisch. All of us are interested in how the creation of artificial intelligence will affect the world. The topic was “The Morality of an Artificial Intelligence Will be Different from our Human

for us to disappear from the physical universe?” Surina asked, opening her eyes wider and raising her eyebrows in amazement. “Yes, this is the developmental singularity hypothesis,” Ailbeart replied, looking intently at Surina to gauge whether she fully understood the ramifications of the concept. “If we achieve the developmental singularity, it will allow us to exist in black holes for example or maybe somewhere entirely different. Essentially, this is a nascent field with a vast chasm in our knowledge

In Ray Kurzweil's speech "A University for the Coming Singularity", he begins his speech by presenting various forms of data which all illustrate his point that the majority of technological developments follow an exponential growth trend over a linear trend, meaning that progress is made faster and faster as time continues, as opposed to linear growth where everything progresses at the same rate. In addition to the rapid growth of the industry, Kurzweil also includes data about decreasing costs
