After rediscovering Darlingside‘s “Singularity”, I began to wonder about the many meanings of the term. Our class defined singularity as the “transition to post humanity”, but what lies ahead after humanity can be very different futures. A technological singularity describes a point when technology, particularly artificial intelligence, becomes so advanced that humans are unable to control it. At this point, AI may take over society, thus, ending the era of human dominance. However, the end of human kind depends on the benevolence of the AI; we may fall under the care of these machines– such as in Ilya Varshavsky’s Perpetual Motion (1965)– or we may perish if they mean us harm.
