The
technological singularity - or simply the
singularity - is a
hypothetical
future point in time at which technological growth becomes
uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences
for
human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis,
I. J. Good's
intelligence explosion model of 1965, an upgradable
intelligent agent could eventually enter a positive feedback loop of
self-improvement
cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and
more rapidly, causing a rapid increase ("explosion") in intelligence
which would ultimately result in a powerful
superintelligence, qualitatively far surpassing all
human intelligence.
The Hungarian-American mathematician
John von Neumann (1903-1957) became the first known person to use the concept of a "singularity" in the technological context.
Stanislaw Ulam reported in 1958 an earlier discussion with von Neumann "centered on the
accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential
singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue". Subsequent authors have echoed this viewpoint.
The concept and the term "singularity" were popularized by
Vernor Vinge
- first in 1983 (in an article that claimed that once humans create
intelligences greater than their own, there will be a technological and
social transition similar in some sense to "the knotted space-time at
the center of a black hole",) and later in his 1993 essay
The Coming Technological Singularity,
(in which he wrote that it would signal the end of the human era, as
the new superintelligence would continue to upgrade itself and would
advance technologically at an incomprehensible rate). He wrote that he
would be surprised if it occurred before 2005 or after 2030. Another significant contributor to wider circulation of the notion was
Ray Kurzweil's 2005 book
The Singularity Is Near, predicting singularity by 2045.
Some scientists, including
Stephen Hawking, have expressed concern that
artificial superintelligence (ASI) could result in human extinction.
The consequences of a technological singularity and its potential
benefit or harm to the human race have been intensely debated.
Prominent technologists and academics - including
Paul Allen,
Jeff Hawkins,
John Holland,
Jaron Lanier,
Steven Pinker,
Theodore Modis, and
Gordon Moore
- dispute the plausibility of a technological singularity and an
associated artificial-intelligence explosion. One claim made was that
the artificial-intelligence growth is likely to run into decreasing
returns instead of accelerating ones, as was observed in previously developed human technologies.
The Singularity Is Near:
Kurzweil describes his law of accelerating returns which predicts an exponential increase in technologies like computers, genetics, nanotechnology, robotics
and artificial intelligence. Once the singularity has been reached,
Kurzweil says that machine intelligence will be infinitely more powerful
than all human intelligence combined. The singularity is also the point
at which machines' intelligence and humans would merge; Kurzweil
predicts this date: "I set the date for the Singularity—representing a
profound and disruptive transformation in human capability—as 2045".
La singularité technologique (ou simplement la Singularité) est l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'invention de l'intelligence artificielle déclencherait un emballement de la croissance technologique qui induirait des changements imprévisibles dans la société humaine. Au-delà de ce point, le progrès ne serait plus l’œuvre que
d’intelligences artificielles qui s’auto-amélioreraient, de nouvelles
générations de plus en plus intelligentes apparaissant de plus en plus
rapidement dans une « explosion d'intelligence », débouchant sur une
puissante superintelligence qui dépasserait qualitativement de loin l'intelligence humaine.
Le risque serait que l'humanité perde le contrôle de son destin. L'auteur de science fiction Vernor Vinge est même convaincu, dans son essai La venue de la singularité technologique, que la singularité signifierait la fin de l'ère humaine,
la nouvelle superintelligence continuant de s'améliorer et d'évoluer
technologiquement à une vitesse incompréhensible pour les humains.
Cette notion de singularité technologique aurait été envisagée par John von Neumann dès les années 1950 et ses conséquences ont été débattues dans les années 1960 par I. J. Good. Selon Ray Kurzweil7, cofondateur de la Singularity University, la singularité deviendrait réalité approximativement en 2045.
La possibilité et la date de survenue de cet évènement
hypothétique fait toutefois l'objet de débats entre scientifiques.
Plusieurs futurologues et transhumanistes l’attendent pour la troisième décennie du XXIe siècle.
Variations
Non-AI singularity
Some
writers use
"the singularity" in a broader way to refer to
any radical
changes in society brought about by
new technology (such as
molecular nanotechnology),
although Vinge and other writers specifically state that without
superintelligence, such changes would not qualify as a true singularity.
Predictions
In
1965, I. J. Good wrote that it is more probable than not that an
ultra-intelligent machine would be built in the twentieth century. In 1993, Vinge predicted greater-than-human intelligence between 2005 and 2030. In 1996, Yudkowsky predicted a singularity in 2021. In 2005, Kurzweil predicted human-level AI around 2029, and the singularity in 2045. In a 2017 interview, Kurzweil reaffirmed his estimates.
In 1988, Moravec predicted that if the rate of improvement continues,
the computing capabilities for human-level AI would be available in
supercomputers before 2010. In 1998, Moravec predicted human-level AI by 2040, and intelligence far beyond human by 2050.
Plausibility
Most proposed methods for creating superhuman or transhuman
minds fall into one of two categories: intelligence amplification of
human brains and artificial intelligence. The many speculated ways to
augment human intelligence include bioengineering, genetic engineering, nootropic drugs, AI assistants, direct brain–computer interfaces and mind uploading.
These multiple possible paths to an intelligence explosion, all of
which will presumably be pursued, makes a singularity more likely.
Robin Hanson
expressed skepticism of human intelligence augmentation, writing that
once the "low-hanging fruit" of easy methods for increasing human
intelligence have been exhausted, further improvements will become
increasingly difficult.
Despite all of the speculated ways for amplifying human intelligence,
non-human artificial intelligence (specifically seed AI) is the most
popular option among the hypotheses that would advance the singularity.
The possibility of an intelligence explosion depends on three factors.
The first accelerating factor is the new intelligence enhancements made
possible by each previous improvement. Contrariwise, as the
intelligences become more advanced, further advances will become more
and more complicated, possibly outweighing the advantage of increased
intelligence. Each improvement should generate at least one more
improvement, on average, for movement towards singularity to continue.
Finally, the laws of physics may eventually prevent further improvement.
There are two logically independent, but mutually reinforcing,
causes of intelligence improvements: increases in the speed of
computation, and improvements to the algorithms used. The former is predicted by Moore's Law and the forecasted improvements in hardware, and is comparatively similar to previous technological advances. But Schulman and Sandberg
argue that software will present more complex challenges than simply
operating on hardware capable of running at human intelligence levels or
beyond.
A 2017 email survey of authors with publications at the 2015 NeurIPS and ICML
machine learning conferences asked about the chance that "the
intelligence explosion argument is broadly correct". Of the respondents,
12% said it was "quite likely", 17% said it was "likely", 21% said it
was "about even", 24% said it was "unlikely" and 26% said it was "quite
unlikely".
