The Singularity is Coming. Will humanity survive? Many scientists predict that as early as 2024 an unprecedented event will happen that will completely change our lives. They aren’t talking about global warming or nuclear war, but technological singularity. They predict that a computer with artificial general intelligence (AGI) will be able to program its own software and redesign itself. This superintelligence will exceed all human understanding and will be beyond our control. In non-technical language, The Singularity is Coming clarifies what may happen and speculates about how it may affect us. It is a compilation of information that includes comments from experts, news announcements of the latest developments, and a comprehensive reading list. In the Facts to Prophetic Fiction section is a collection of speculative science fiction pieces and short stories including: GODLIKE: The ideal companion for lonely emigrant. EQUALITY: The laws say robots must protect humans, always...? BE HAPPY WHEN WE TAKE OVER: Know your limitations. Are we on the threshold of a new golden age? Some scientists are optimistic about the singularity and predict the new intelligence will create amazing advances. It may bring about longer, healthier lives, an end to crime, and a solution to world hunger. Others wonder where our place would be in the new order. Will this superintelligence include benevolence? Are we on the verge of a new beginning for humanity, or the end of life as we know it? Read The Singularity is Coming now and decide for yourself.

Write-Up Based On Books The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion

it was a short book that collected all the information from the news about the current development of AI.I have learned here AGI and ASI (Artificial General intelligence and Artificial Super intelligence), mot of our development so far still remains on AGI, like the movie "Ex Machina" shows and the author considered a must-watch about AI movie.I feel the author is more like taking side of we need to be cautious about the development of AI, specially when it reaches the quantum level.below is

This book examines the idea that we are living on borrowed time until the machines become smarter than we and take over (think Battlestar Gallactica). Actually, some heavy hitters in the world of computers share those concerns. This book is a compendium of ideas and articles, some the author's and some not, that promote the scary notion.



Tony Thorne MBE's "The Singularity is Coming: The Artificial Intelligence Explosion" is a standalone short read. It holds a dire prediction for our future. It seems like Mr. Thorne is very well read and he cites a lot of very good literature on the subject of artificial intelligence. In some ways, this is a nice, short digest written in layman's terms for a lot of very heavy duty readings. It was definitely an interesting read and seems to dovetail with what I've been reading from Kurzweil and

Tony Thorne MBE, a Chartered Design Engineer, built up a research and development company in Kent, England. Its eventual worldwide commercial success led to him being awarded the MBE by the Queen. Now retired, he writes speculative, science and fantasy, fiction and has published over fifteen collections of short stories, including the award winning TENERIFE TALL TALES trilogy, and MACABRE TALES.

A thought-provoking read.Literally mind-boggling, this book explores what will become of mankind if we continue our developments of AI or Artificial Intelligence. Is this endless quest for development a good idea? Will the robots pf the future merely be our assistants or will they take over? A good read.

The concept of artificial intelligence taking over humanity, or THE Singularity, is not a new idea. Classic science fiction novels, comics, TV, and movies played on the fears of invasions of robots, cyborgs, and other invaders bent to destroy human beings and take over the world. Those who survived fought to maintain control. I grew up wondering if a scenario like The Terminator could really happen, in which a computer and its creation of cyborgs could ever be more than entertainment. Also,
