Wendy M. Grossman in her article published in Guardian this Tuesday, 2 November, writes about singularitarians and their future scenarios.
Singularitarians believe artificial intelligence will be humanity's saviour. They also assume that AI entities will be benevolent, and that's not so certain.
After 'singularity' (a term borrowed from physics, meaning a point of discontinuity in black holes), defined by SF writer and physicist Vernor Vinge back in 1993 as 'the moment at which AI passes human intelligence', nothing is predictable. No one knows what might happen. Many don't care, but many think about it and come with different possible futures.
