The technological singularity is defined as a hypothetical event in which artificial intelligence would be capable of recursive self-improvement or of autonomously building smarter and more powerful machines than itself, up to the point of an intelligence explosion, that yields an intelligence surpassing all current human control or understanding. Because the capabilities of such superintelligence may be impossible for humans to comprehend, the technological singularity is the point beyond which events may become unpredictable. One speaks about an essential singularity in the history of the human race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue (More & Vita-More, 2013).
