All of these different approaches can be found amongst those teaching at Singularity University, and therefore a broad and balanced education is
obtained there.
Nevertheless that vague and non-rigorous approach to the Singularity is common, “it’s
everywhere, it’s everywhere”! To people holding this belief, the industrial revolution
was a Singularity, so is waking up in the morning!
Is it an event? A process? Fast? Slow? Hard take off? Soft take off? Is there any
significance to the year 2045?
1) Create an artificial intelligence that exceeds human intelligence.
2) Build human-computer interfaces that allow humans to go beyond their innate intelligence to a significant extent. (‘cybernetic singularity’)
3) Find ways in biology to improve upon the natural human intellect.
4) Build large computer networks in which ‘beyond human intelligence’ emerges.
The experience of attending Singularity University is one that grows and grows after completion of the course. The associated memories become more vivid rather than less vivid with time, they are on an exponential curve of their own!
