Technological Singularity – An Overview of What the Future Holds
Main Article Content
Abstract
Background/Objectives: In this research we aim to present a collective analysis of the past ideas and researches on the topic of Technological Singularity and how human kind has developed from it since then.
Methods/Statistical analysis: We used data and evidences from several references to put forth a clear picture of the current developments in the field of singularity. We also used a survey method involving PhD. Researchers in the field of A.I. and asked their opinion on several questions, challenges and achievements in the area of Technological Singularity.
Findings: We found out that the major sectors of development are yet to be discovered which will helps us achieve Technological Singularity. The closest being Nano-bots and a merger of several inter-related fields such as AI, quantum computing, machine learning and many more to help develop a completely independent robot. A majority of Researchers also believe that we will achieve technological singularity within the next 80 years or so.
Improvements/Applications: This research only consists of existing data and the survey conducted is done on a small scale at one single place. The resources and background of research might impact the opinion of researchers elsewhere.
