The Singularity is Now: Reframing Our Place in the Exponential Age

  • Misunderstanding of the Singularity: The Technological Singularity is often seen as a future event where AI surpasses human intelligence. However, it’s better understood as an ongoing process, not something that will suddenly happen, but a transformation we’re already living through.
  • Industrial Revolution as the Real Singularity: The real Singularity began around 1800 with the Industrial Revolution, which fundamentally altered human life by breaking the old rules of society. This event reshaped economies, life expectancy, and human development, marking the start of exponential growth.
  • Human-Machine Fusion Misconception: Rather than being the ultimate singularity event, the fusion of human and machine intelligence is part of a broader process that has been unfolding for centuries. It’s not a sudden shift but a gradual transformation we are already experiencing.
  • Exponential Growth and Our Position: The rapid technological advancements we are witnessing today mark the «warp speed» phase of this ongoing Singularity. The acceleration in AI, robotics, and other technologies is reshaping industries and everyday life, but it’s part of a long-term process.
  • The New Human Challenge: As human-machine fusion becomes a reality, the challenge will be finding ways for enhanced and non-enhanced humans to coexist. This new reality will present social and ethical dilemmas that mirror long-standing human conflicts, but with a deeper impact.
