One view is that this event will be followed by an explosion to ever-greater levels of intelligence, as each generation of ma-chines creates more intelligent machines in turn. This intelligence explosion is now often known as the “singularity”.

Jun 29, 2009 · A spacetime singularity is a breakdown in the geometrical structure of space and time. It is a topic of ongoing physical and philosophical research to clarify both the nature and significance of such pathologies.
In The Singularity is Near, Kurzweil defines the ‘Singularity’ as “a future period during which the pace of technological change will be so rapid, its impact so deep, that human life will be irreversibly transformed.”
The singularity is what the line, in its curves, appears to ‘orbit’, ‘seek’ ‘bend’, ‘tend’ or ‘avoid’. It’s an ‘ideal’ object that allows us to give a qualitative characterization of the curve.
Singularitarianism is a movement defined by the belief that a technological singularity—the creation of superintelligence—will likely happen in the medium future, and that deliberate action ought to be taken to ensure that the singularity benefits humans.
