- 3. What is Artificial Intelligence?Artificial Intelligence is a gateway towards science and engineering of making intelligent machines or smart computer programs.Enables machines to understand the human intelligence. Science of making a computer or machine perform a task that requires human knowledge. AI has the potential of surpassing the human intellect. 3
- 4. SingularityIs a theory that of accelerating change, a future point in which progress throughout history humanity may suggest faster and more define changes in the future.Technological SingularityDescribes a theory that there is a future point technology that takes place during a period of accelerating change sometime after the creation of a super-intelligence.An increase in the rate of technological progress throughout history, which may suggest faster and more profound change in the future.4
- 5. Accelerating ChangeProgress throughout history, can suggest faster and more profound change in the future. Accelerating Change will increase the rate: TechnologicalSocialCultural Accelerating change, possesses its own popularity during modern times and is closely associated with the ideas and writings of many theorist focusing on Technological Singularity.5
- 6. Super-intelligenceArtificially enhanced human brain, a computer program or a device that is much smarter, more creative and wiser than any current or past existing human brain.The uniqueness continues to enhance its own capability and intelligence.Singularity.Accelerating Change.Complimenting the concept accelerating change is the super intelligence. If it wasn’t for the theory of the super intelligence, accelerating change would not happen.6
