The group of scholars that address this question have a variety of positions on the singularity, ranging from advocates to skeptics. No conclusion can be reached, as the development of artificial intelligence is still in its infancy, and there is much wishful thinking and imagination in this issue rather than trustworthy data. The reader will find a cogent summary of the issues faced by researchers who are working to develop the field of artificial intelligence and, in particular, artificial general intelligence. The only conclusion that can be reached is that there exists a variety of well-argued positions as to where AI research is headed.AI AND THE SINGULARITYInformation technology industriesbicssctechnological Singularityintelligenceemotionartificial general intelligenceartificial intelligencecomputerlogicfigure/groundcomputersconsciousnesssingularityselffuturestechnological singularityphilosophycosmic evolutionanthropologytechnical singularitynon-axiomatic reasoning systemmetasystem transitionspatternspatterningcognitionset theorylanguageinformationabductive reasoningfuturism and futurologyhard science fictionmodels of consciousnessintelligent machinesmachine replicationmachine evolution and optimizationTuring testembodimentcompetitioncooperationself-organizationrobotsheterogeneityteam sportsartificial intelligence (AI)automated journalismrobo-journalismwriting algorithmsfuture of newsmedia ecologyautogenous intelligencebootstrap fallacyrecursive self-improvementself-modifying softwaresuperintelligenceskepticismcyborgevolutionlovemisinformationTechnological SingularityAccelerated ChangeArtificial (General) Intelligenceapopheniapareidoliacomplexityresearch focused social networknetworked mindscomplexity breakcomplexity fallacyphilosophy of informationmachine learninginformation qualityinformation frictionArtificial Intelligence (AI)Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)Artificial Social Intelligence (ASI)social sciencesembodied cognitionvalue alignmentexperiencephenomenal consciousnessaccess consciousnessperceptconceptdeep neural networksmeaningunderstandingSingularityintuitionwisdomInformation technology industriesLogan Robert Kedt1299744Braga AdrianaedtLogan Robert KothBraga AdrianaothBOOK9910557110403321AI AND THE SINGULARITY3025250UNINA
