Singularity Now! is a nonfiction news mash-up covering advances in artificial intelligence and other high technologies building to the singularity. This edition summarizes more than 275 articles [350+ citations].Generally speaking, this month's headlines reveal we continue to hurdle towards general intelligence AI, with mixed opinions, high anticipation and grave warnings of what will happen afterwards. This accomplishment, the final harbinger of the technological singularity, will be preceded by two milestones. First, the total control grid will be established. This will be complete when a sizeable stratum of the upper-middle and upper class -- meaning the MBA class, its immediate subordinates and its fellow travelers -- has almost every waking experience automatically dictated to them by high technology. The illusion of choice (such as, for example, between Coke and Pepsi or Democrat or Republican), however, will likely remain. The automated control grid will be fully mature when society is cashless. This milestone is almost within reach. Second, a sect of proto-transhumanists, first generation quasi-cyborgs and their supporters, from the breakaway civilization that is the beneficiary of the total control grid, will assume positions of covert influence, power and control. They will have the resources and manpower to make those final crucial discoveries that will foment the required climatic crescendo of innovation.

(Singularity Now is a nonfiction news mash-up covering advances in artificial intelligence and other high technologies building to the singularity. This edition summarizes more than 900 articles [1000+ citations]).... Over the last half year, a couple of trends emerged. The news daily includes innovations that reveal an already occurring and perhaps growing disruption to the job market. It reveals that no jobs are entirely safe from being vaporized by automation, robotics and AI. It reveals that AI is making inroads into the lucrative fields of lawyering, banking, insurance, and investing, pillars of the American economy and paradigm. Increasingly AI is being deployed in schools and universities to manage students and empower them with virtual tutors and tools. The news reveals always-on, always-listening natural language interfaces are increasingly finding their way onto or into gadgets, cars, appliances and homes. It reveals the major universities are deploying AI in their research to resolve some of the more bedeviling challenges facing humanity. AI is also making a splash in the healthcare sector, as it is being deployed to crunch databases, cram articles, suggest solutions, plan treatment, schedule appointments and help engineer medicines. Once relegated to the distant future, AI-empowered autonomous vehicles, drones and weapons systems are now reportedly only a few years out. Their antecedents are being deployed today on a limited scale or in testing scenarios.Other trends are emerging, specifically regarding news coverage of the sector. First, there remain a few holdouts who declare that the latest wave in AI tech won't live up to the hype. However, they seem to be outnumbered. Second, the majority of reports that search engines favor are typically one-source, advocacy pieces that effectively give a bullhorn and soapbox to the tech makers. Third, when the implications of the advent of general AI, a nearing milestone no doubt, are discussed to any depth, the talk centers on rogue AI as an existential threat. This should indeed be discussed, no doubt. But in a way that discussion is herring from the very real and much more imminent threat of advanced AI deployed by juggernaut corporate entities, clandestine government agencies and factions, militaries or other police state and surveillance industry players in the effort to establish a total global control grid. What this illustrates is tech sector news reporters either are cynical, propagandists for the tech titans or the authorities, or can't see the forest for the trees. Few are asking the tough questions or connecting the dots, which reveals something about the AI arms race. Without a major trend reversal, it appears that the AI arms race will be won outright by one or a consortium of the major players, or by a faction that transcends those players, and in secret (possibly under the auspices of a skunkworks project). And a clear victor in, or at least some sort of defining climax to, the AI arms race would be a milestone immediately preceding the singularity. This conclusion is discussed intermittently throughout the following.And so, regardless of your station or belief system, it is now crucial to track the course of the advance of AI, which has emerged as a lucrative market sect and a veritable virtual commodity. In the least, thanks to AI, humanity is in the midst of a paradigm shift that will perhaps radically alter the course of civilization and possibly the evolution of the species. Automated totalitarianism is emergent. As it blossoms, a clique from a breakaway civilization of proto-transhumanists will usher in the singularity, perhaps in secret. What happens after the singularity can only be the subject of speculation, both intellectual and financial. But by tracking the evolution of AI, the hypotheses target truth, and the range of possibilities is honed. ...

Singularity Now! is a nonfiction news mash-up covering advances in artificial intelligence and other high technologies building to the singularity. This edition summarizes more than 275 articles [325+ citations].Developments in high technology are advancing at a blistering rate that far outpaces anybody's ability to fully assimilate it all into a comprehensive picture. Such a picture is not what you will find in these pages. Instead, this book series compiles summaries of news articles, columns and blogs on the technologies that will ultimately birth the technological singularity: supercomputers, artificial intelligence (AI) and autonomous machines; and, perhaps to a lesser extent, augmented and virtual reality. The methodology of article selection and compilation is not scientific, and the sample size is not statistically significant. Nonetheless, almost daily throughout the month, top AI and high-tech stories are selected, condensed and encapsulated for clarity and brevity. The result is a running log of nugget paragraph entries that reflect the gist of the biggest AI stories to hit the net in the last month. The intent of this book series is not to present the current state of the technology in the public sphere, but to highlight the public discussion centered on it, to present a sampler platter of the innovations being unveiled daily, and to reveal the full extent to which these technologies are already entrenched in the gears of our civilization. This month's headlines reveal the autonomous weapons arms race is accelerating, as is the race to normalize sex robots and personal handheld devices that constantly surveil and assess the user. Gene editing is taking off and is increasingly being pitched as a medical panacea. Cities both large and small are installing surveillance cameras; and local police agencies are increasingly soliciting citizens to register their private home surveillance systems. And increasingly, the airports of the world are becoming testing grounds for the next generation in facial recognition technology.Generally speaking, this month's headlines reveal we continue to hurtle towards general intelligence AI, with mixed opinions, high anticipation and grave warnings of what will happen afterwards. This accomplishment, the final harbinger of the technological singularity, will be preceded by two milestones. First, the total control grid will be established.

However, by tracking the evolution of AI, the hypotheses target truth, and the range of possibilities is honed. The singularity approaches. Are you ready?

In his classic The Age of Spiritual Machines, he argued that computers would soon rival the full range of human intelligence at its best. Now he examines the next step in this inexorable evolutionary process: the union of human and machine, in which the knowledge and skills embedded in our brains will be combined with the vastly greater capacity, speed, and knowledge-sharing ability of our creations.

This book provides a detailed history of Artificial Intelligence, and a "reality check".Themes explored in this book include:- Most of the "intelligence" of our machines is dueto the environment that humans structure for them.- We are building "vast algorithmic bureaucracies" all around us.- Automation is an effect, not a cause.- The danger is not that machines will become as intelligent as us but that we will become as dumb as them (the Turing Test in reverse).- We have always coexisted with super-human (or, better, non-human) intelligence.- The Singularity is simply a religion for the god-less 21st century.

The idea of technological singularity, and what it would mean if ordinary human intelligence were enhanced or overtaken by artificial intelligence. The idea that human history is approaching a “singularity”—that ordinary humans will someday be overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or both—has moved from the realm of science fiction to serious debate. Some singularity theorists predict that if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop at its current dizzying rate, the singularity could come about in the middle of the present century. Murray Shanahan offers an introduction to the idea of the singularity and considers the ramifications of such a potentially seismic event. Shanahan's aim is not to make predictions but rather to investigate a range of scenarios. Whether we believe that singularity is near or far, likely or impossible, apocalypse or utopia, the very idea raises crucial philosophical and pragmatic questions, forcing us to think seriously about what we want as a species. Shanahan describes technological advances in AI, both biologically inspired and engineered from scratch. Once human-level AI—theoretically possible, but difficult to accomplish—has been achieved, he explains, the transition to superintelligent AI could be very rapid. Shanahan considers what the existence of superintelligent machines could mean for such matters as personhood, responsibility, rights, and identity. Some superhuman AI agents might be created to benefit humankind; some might go rogue. (Is Siri the template, or HAL?) The singularity presents both an existential threat to humanity and an existential opportunity for humanity to transcend its limitations. Shanahan makes it clear that we need to imagine both possibilities if we want to bring about the better outcome.

Technological singularity is a term that hasn’t sunk in yet. Ask the average person about it and you’ll likely get an answer that sounds like: “what’s that?”, “what do you mean?”. When I first heard the term, my first thought was: we will use just one technology for everything instead of a variety of them. I was far from thinking it’s will be something created by Mankind but that will spell the end of our own species. In other words, a self-inflicted wound. 2045 is an unrealistic date when we consider the implications of technological singularity. The information revolution started during World War II. In roughly 75 years, since the advent of Intranet of the US Department of Defense, the first computers (Colossus in Britain and ENIAC in the United States), and later the Internet followed by the democratization of personal computers, smartphones and other connected devices, our lifestyle has drastically changed. Overly optimistic scholars and visionaries have gone so far as to predict a potential takeover of the planet by homegrown machines. That idea or suggestion, although in line with current trends in technological advances, is flawed. It’s a big dream, a grandiose dream, and there is nothing wrong with dreaming big. But the end results of technological singularity, if the latter ever materializes, wouldn’t even qualify to be labeled a technological revolution, when compared to the agricultural, the writing, the printing, the industrial, and the information revolutions. Why is that?
