Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment offers authoritative, jargon-free essays and critical commentaries on accelerating technological progress and the notion of technological singularity. It focuses on conjectures about the intelligence explosion, transhumanism, and whole brain emulation. Recent years have seen a plethora of forecasts about the profound, disruptive impact that is likely to result from further progress in these areas. Many commentators however doubt the scientific rigor of these forecasts, rejecting them as speculative and unfounded. We therefore invited prominent computer scientists, physicists, philosophers, biologists, economists and other thinkers to assess the singularity hypotheses. Their contributions go beyond speculation, providing deep insights into the main issues and a balanced picture of the debate.

This volume contains a selection of authoritative essays exploring the central questions raised by the conjectured technological singularity. In informed yet jargon-free contributions written by active research scientists, philosophers and sociologists, it goes beyond philosophical discussion to provide a detailed account of the risks that the singularity poses to human society and, perhaps most usefully, the possible actions that society and technologists can take to manage the journey to any singularity in a way that ensures a positive rather than a negative impact on society. The discussions provide perspectives that cover technological, political and business issues. The aim is to bring clarity and rigor to the debate in a way that will inform and stimulate both experts and interested general readers.

Recent findings about the capabilities of smart animals such as corvids or octopi and novel types of artificial intelligence (AI), from social robots to cognitive assistants, are provoking the demand for new answers for meaningful comparison with other kinds of intelligence. This book fills this need by proposing a universal theory of intelligence which is based on causal learning as the central theme of intelligence. The goal is not just to describe, but mainly to explain queries like why one kind of intelligence is more intelligent than another, whatsoever the intelligence. Shiny terms like "strong AI," "superintelligence," "singularity" or "artificial general intelligence" that have been coined by a Babylonian confusion of tongues are clarified on the way.

Magnum Opus of philosopher Alex Vikoulov on the ultimate nature of reality, consciousness, the physics of time, philosophy of mind, the technological Singularity, the impending phase transition of humanity, transcendental metaphysics and God. In one volume, the author covers it all: from quantum physics to your experiential reality, from the Big Bang to the Omega Point, from the 'flow state' to psychedelics, from 'Lucy' to the looming AI Singularity, from natural algorithms to the operating system of your mind, from geo-engineering to nanotechnology, from anti-aging to immortality technologies, from oligopoly capitalism to Star-Trekonomics, from the Matrix to Universal Mind, from Homo sapiens to Holo syntellectus. This is an essential read in Digital Physics, Quantum Foundations, science of consciousness, philosophy of mind, economic theory, cybernetics and AI research, collective evolution and self-development in the Information Age. Despite a dozen of neologisms, readily explained by given definitions and contextually, the book is an exceptionally easy read for an intellectual reader. Alongside with the Syntellect Hypothesis, as the author's main contribution to the scientific and philosophical dialogue, you'll encounter the Conscious Instant hypothesis and the temporal singularity, Experiential Realism and the Mental Universe hypothesis in regards to our phenomenological experience; the Noocentric model challenging the centuries-old Copernican heliocentric model; the Chrysalis conjecture as his solution to the Fermi Paradox; D-theory of Time, or Digital Presentism, as his fresh perspective on temporal ontology and the physics of time; the mind-bending Digital Pantheism argument, exponential evolution, and the Omega Point Cosmo-Teleology. From the Back Cover: Within the next few decades, we are about to make a huge evolutionary leap from Homo sapiens to Holo syntellectus. We are now entering a new era where evolution is no longer driven by natural processes. Rather, it is driven by human choices and now represents directed evolution. By mid-century, we will see the emergence of an entirely new species of post-biological human beings, augmented by technology and independent from the physical substrates, as well as a variety of cyberhumans, conscious AGI. The emergence of the unified civilizational mind, or the Syntellect, will be marked by the "Intelligence Supernova" in our corner of the Universe. This book carries a weight of fresh ideas useful to AI researchers, cognitive scientists, and practitioners of the related fields, philosophers, transhumanist thinkers, as well as general readers interested in a wide variety of topics from digital physics to futurism. The book is a bold quest to reconcile science, theology and philosophy of mind. This book will prepare you to be a smarter human going forward into the Age of Superintelligence.

This book introduces a 'Big History' perspective to understand the acceleration of social, technological and economic trends towards a near-term singularity, marking a radical turning point in the evolution of our planet. It traces the emergence of accelerating innovation rates through global history and highlights major historical transformations throughout the evolution of life, humans, and civilization. The authors pursue an interdisciplinary approach, also drawing on concepts from physics and evolutionary biology, to offer potential models of the underlying mechanisms driving this acceleration, along with potential clues on how it might progress. The contributions gathered here are divided into five parts, the first of which studies historical mega-trends in relation to a variety of aspects including technology, population, energy, and information. The second part is dedicated to a variety of models that can help understand the potential mechanisms, and support extrapolation. In turn, the third part explores various potential future scenarios, along with the paths and decisions that are required. The fourth part presents philosophical perspectives on the potential deeper meaning and implications of the trend towards singularity, while the fifth and last part discusses the implications of the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Given its scope, the book will appeal to scholars from various disciplines interested in historical trends, technological change and evolutionary processes.

Over the past decade ‘singularity’ has been a prominent term in a broad range of fields, ranging from philosophy to literary and cultural studies to science and technology studies. This volume intervenes in this broad discussion of singularity and its various implications, proposing to explore the term for its specific potential in the study of literature. Singularity and Transnational Poetics brings together scholars working in the fields of literary and cultural studies, translation studies, and transnational literatures. The volume’s central concern is to explore singularity as a conceptual tool for the comparative study of contemporary literatures beyond national frameworks, and by implication, as a tool to analyze human existence. Contributors explore how singularity might move our conceptions of cultural identity from prevailing frameworks of self/other toward the premises of being as ‘singular plural’. Through a close reading of transnational literatures from Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and South Africa, this collection offers a new approach to reading literature that will challenge a reader’s established notions of identity, individuality, communicability, and social cohesion.

What Is Technological Singularity The technological singularity, also referred to as simply the singularity, is an imagined point in the not-too-distant future at which the rate of technology advancement will become unmanageable and unreversible, bringing about shifts in human society that cannot be predicted. An upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, where each new and more intelligent generation appears more and more rapidly, causing a "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence, according to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, which is I. J. Good's intelligence explosion model. In this model, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction."
