The achievement was rooted in recent advances in pattern recognition technologies that have also yielded impressive results in speech recognition, computer vision and machine learning. The progress in artificial intelligence has become a flash point for converging fears that we feel about the smart machines that are increasingly surrounding us.
However, most artificial intelligence researchers still discount the idea of an “intelligence explosion.”
The idea was formally described as the “Singularity” in 1993 by Vernor Vinge, a computer scientist and science fiction writer, who posited that accelerating technological change would inevitably lead to machine intelligence that would match and then surpass human intelligence. In his original essay, Dr. Vinge suggested that the point in time at which machines attained superhuman intelligence would happen sometime between 2005 and 2030.
Ray Kurzweil, an artificial intelligence researcher, extended the idea in his 2006 book “The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology,” where he argues that machines will outstrip human capabilities in 2045. The idea was popularized in movies such as “Transcendence” and “Her.”
Recently several well-known technologists and scientists, including Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk and Bill Gates, have issued warnings about runaway technological progress leading to superintelligent machines that might not be favorably disposed to humanity.
For starters, biologists acknowledge that the basic mechanisms for biological intelligence are still not completely understood, and as a result there is not a good model of human intelligence for computers to simulate.
Indeed, the field of artificial intelligence has a long history of over-promising and under-delivering. John McCarthy, the mathematician and computer scientist who coined the term artificial intelligence, told his Pentagon funders in the early 1960s that building a machine with human levels of intelligence would take just a decade. Even earlier, in 1958 The New York Times reported that the Navy was planning to build a “thinking machine” based on the neural network research of the psychologist Frank Rosenblatt. The article forecast that it would take about a year to build the machine and cost about $100,000.
The notion of the Singularity is predicated on Moore’s Law, the 1965 observation by the Intel co-founder Gordon Moore, that the number of transistors that can be etched onto a sliver of silicon doubles at roughly two year intervals. This has fostered the notion of exponential change, in which technology advances slowly at first and then with increasing rapidity with each succeeding technological generation.
At this stage Moore’s Law seems to be on the verge of stalling. Transistors will soon reach fundamental physical limits when they are made from just handfuls of atoms. It’s further evidence that there will be no quick path to thinking machines.
2029 SINGULARITY: 
The Age of A.I.
After some trying years during which Mark Zuckerberg could do little right, many developers and technologists have embraced the Meta chief as their champion of “open-source” A.I.
D’Youville University in Buffalo had an A.I. robot speak at its commencement. Not everyone was happy about it.
Au-delร de ce point, le progrรจs ne serait plus l’ลuvre que d’intelligences artificielles qui s’auto-amรฉlioreraient, de nouvelles gรฉnรฉrations de plus en plus intelligentes apparaissant de plus en plus rapidement dans une « explosion d'intelligence », dรฉbouchant sur une puissante superintelligence qui dรฉpasserait qualitativement de loin l'intelligence humaine.
Le risque serait que l'humanitรฉ perde le contrรดle de son destin. L'auteur de science fiction Vernor Vinge est mรชme convaincu, dans son essai La venue de la singularitรฉ technologique, que la singularitรฉ signifierait la fin de l'รจre humaine, la nouvelle superintelligence continuant de s'amรฉliorer et d'รฉvoluer technologiquement ร une vitesse incomprรฉhensible pour les humains.
Cette notion de singularitรฉ technologique aurait รฉtรฉ envisagรฉe par John von Neumann dรจs les annรฉes 1950 et ses consรฉquences ont รฉtรฉ dรฉbattues dans les annรฉes 1960 par I. J. Good. Selon Ray Kurzweil7, cofondateur de la Singularity University, la singularitรฉ deviendrait rรฉalitรฉ approximativement en 2045.
La possibilitรฉ et la date de survenue de cet รฉvรจnement hypothรฉtique fait toutefois l'objet de dรฉbats entre scientifiques. Plusieurs futurologues et transhumanistes l’attendent pour la troisiรจme dรฉcennie du XXIe siรจcle.
