Слайд 6EARLY THOUGHTS: ALAN TURING
Computer scientist, Alan Turing, predicted as early as

1950 that there would be “thinking machines.”
“I believe that at the end of the century the use of words and general educated opinion will have altered so much that one will be able to speak of machines thinking without expecting to be contradicted.”
– Alan Turing

Слайд 7THE TURING TEST
In 1950, Alan Turing described an Imitation Game where

a machine imitates human behavior in a way that a human has to decide whether they are interacting with a machine or a human being on the other end.
“The object of the machine is to try to cause the interrogator to mistakenly conclude that the machine is the other person.”

Слайд 8IMPORTANT THINKERS
Vinge predicts the Singularity will occur around 2030
Kurzweil predicts that

we will experience a Singularity in 2045

Слайд 9HOW ARE THE DATES PREDICTED?

According to futurist, Ray Kurzwiel, we will

arrive at a Technological Singularity by the year 2045 “a point where progress is so rapid it outstrips humans' ability to comprehend it.”

How do futurists arrive at this date?

Слайд 11APPLYING MOORE’S LAW TO THE SINGULARITY
Moore’s law of exponential growth in

digital integrated circuits has been extended to machines that use themselves to create newer, more intelligent machines.

“Computing speed doubles every two subjective years of work. Two years after Artificial Intelligences reach human equivalence, their speed doubles. One year later, their speed doubles again. Six months - three months - 1.5 months ... Singularity.”
Eliezer Yudkowsky (1996)

@2015, ICE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, 30 NOVEMBER 2015


Слайд 12AN EXAMPLE OF MOORE’S LAW
“Complexity of integrated circuits has approximately doubled

every year since their introduction. Cost per function has decreased several thousand-fold, while system performance and reliability have been improved dramatically. …The expected trends can be recombined to see how long exponential growth in complexity can be expected to continue.”
Gordon E. Moore (Progress In Digital Integrated Electronics, 1975)

Слайд 13PARADIGM SHIFTS IN EVOLUTION
Evolution has resulted in major paradigm shifts for

humanity such as the agricultural revolution, industrial revolution, invention of the personal computer, etc.

Kurzweil predicts exponential growth will continue and in a few decades, the computer will evolve to surpass human intelligence and will appear as superhuman artificial intelligence.

Слайд 15PATHS TO THE SINGULARITY - VERNOR VINGE (1993)
Artificial intelligence: Computers

that are “awake” and superhumanly will be developed
Intelligence amplification: Human intelligence is amplified through human-computer interfaces
Biomedical enhancers: The human brain is made more intelligent by improving its neurological operation using smart drugs, etc.
Digital networks: A large network of computers as well as their users will “wake up” together to be considered superhumanly

Слайд 16HARD VS. SOFT TAKE OFF
A hard takeoff is a scenario where

the artificial intelligence rapidly improves in a short duration, few days or even minutes.
This scenario makes the artificial intelligence pace of acceleration possibly precarious and leads to AI that is potentially “unfriendly” to human beings.

A soft takeoff prediction is that artificial intelligence will gradually improve over a longer term.
In this scenario, a gradual build up of the artificial intelligence, for example, reverse engineering of the human brain, would be completed. We can expect this to be a more human friendly form of AI.

Слайд 17WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE SINGULARITY?
The intelligence explosion will cause

a major paradigm shift

Human affairs as we know them cannot continue
A fusion of humans and computers will result in users that are “superhumanly”
Humans will not be only biological but also have parts of them that are technological, for example, some parts of the human might be in the cloud

Слайд 191. HUMANS WILL TRANSCEND THEIR INTELLECT
For example, in the case of

pattern recognition, the human brain can process a couple of dozen variables, while a machine might be able to recognize millions of variables
Further, human pattern recognition is limited to faces, speech, sounds, etc., but machines are capable of identifying any type of pattern

Слайд 213. HUMANS WILL CONQUER ALL DISEASE
Since human beings will be a

combination of nanobots and biological material, it will be possible to intelligently program genes and the human body at the cellular and sub-cellular level so as to reverse and cure any disease

Слайд 224. HUMANS WILL ACHIEVE IMMORTALITY
Futurists believe that when we reach the

Singularity, we will be able to upload the human mind to a computer. “Minduploading” will ensure that human beings will have a digital version that can live forever. Human beings can then choose to not inhabit their biological bodies at all, and exist in the form of different avatars, such that there is no distinction between reality and virtual reality.

Слайд 24SCENARIO 1: WHERE HUMANS WILL RULE OVER MACHINES
In this scenario, technology

will very much be “working for” specialized needs of human society and will be programmed to be friendly with human beings.

However, the machines themselves will have few rights, and will be only subject to work as per human needs.

Слайд 25SCENARIO 2: WHERE MACHINES WILL RULE OVER HUMANS
This scenario is very

much like “The Matrix” where the world is ruled by machines and human beings are being used of their purposes.

It takes an extraordinary programmer like “Neo” to understand the machines and find a way out.

Слайд 26SCENARIO 3: HUMANS AND MACHINES LIVE IN HARMONY
In this scenario, humans

and artificial intelligence forms will have relationships, even romantic relationships.
The film “Her” shows such a scenario where a man falls in love with his rapidly evolving operating system, Samantha.

Слайд 27CRITICISM OF THE SINGULARITY THEORY
Timescale – all technological evolution doesn’t follow

the exponential growth of Moore’s Law.
Artificial intelligence can never be the same as human intelligence or truly understand human nature. 'The truth is that human intelligence can never be replaced with machine intelligence simply because we are not ourselves "thinking machines" in the sense in which that term is commonly understood.‘ (Dreyfus & Dreyfus 2000)
History of artificial intelligence hasn’t shown as much progress as predicted.
The utopic view of the new world, where hunger, pollution, disease, and so on ends, makes the theory seem naïve in the sense that if AI were very intelligent, it could also likely lead to a quick end of humanity.

Слайд 32THE POST-HUMAN ERA IS HERE
The extension of human senses with a

merger with technology is begun with groups such as the Cyborg Foundation (2010) starting out their research on technology and the human body.

According to founder and cyborg Neil Harbisson, the 2020’s will see more appearance of cyborgs as well as acceptance of them in society. Harbisson also believes that the use of technology currently is still outside the human body, and overtime humans will become more open to exploration of technology inside the body.

Слайд 33REVERSE ENGINEERING OF THE HUMAN BRAIN HAS BEGUN

Researchers have already started

to reverse engineer the human brain, parts of which have been completed. The potential to capture all of the workings of the human mind digitally is a project that many futurists are interested in. Apart from understanding the workings of the human mind, there are benefits in detecting and curing diseases like Alzheimers.

Слайд 34THE SIX EPOCHS: THE AFTERMATH
Kurzweil describes Six Epochs of the world.

The fifth refers to the merger of humans with technology, while the sixth epoch refers to this fusion pervading all matter, the waking up of the entire universe.

Patterns of matter and energy in the universe become saturated with intelligent processes and knowledge: “In the aftermath of the Singularity, intelligence, derived from its biological origins in human brains and its technological origins in human ingenuity, will begin to saturate the matter and energy in its midst.” (pg 21) The universe itself is now alive.

Слайд 36QUESTIONS THAT ARISE
@2015, ICE, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED, 30 NOVEMBER 2015


Слайд 37HUMANITY
Will humanity survive the Singularity or will it perish? Ray Kurzweil’s

view is often considered too optimistic and utopian. Vinge, on the other hand warns us of impending doom.

"Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended."
- Vernor Vinge, The Coming Singularity (1993)

Слайд 38NATURE
In the theory of Singularity, what role does nature play? One

might argue that the technology creation comes from nature and might be inspired by how nature created it, for example, the DNA sequence. In the scenario where human beings cause their own self-destruction through the rise of artificial intelligence, how do the laws of nature factor in?

Слайд 39SPIRITUALITY
While we approach the technological singularity, the merger of human beings

with technology will no doubt provide for new blissful and transcendent experiences. Will the Singularity become humanity’s ultimate spiritual union with the universe?

“Galaxies that were once dense and tightly spiraled are now quite sparse and more relaxed in their rotation. We have ended were we began, in the cosmos.”
