“We define an ultra-intelligent machine as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man, no matter how intelligent. Since machine design is one such intellectual activity, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then undoubtedly be an “intelligence explosion” and man's intelligence would be far behind. So the first ultra-intelligent machine is the last invention man will ever need to make.” IJ Good (Grossman 4)The above quote from British mathematician IJ Good is not dissimilar to the words of characters in a work of science fiction. Surely misinterpreted by the average person as a fanatical conception of current human development, Good's words leave doubts about their real-life validity. Good was in fact seriously stating his theory on the future of the human race and, starting from Good's statement in 1965, the concept of "intelligence explosion" developed; now has data for validation and is known as a Technological Singularity. The theory of the Technological Singularity is the scientific theory of man-made technology advancing so rapidly and substantially that the creation of computers fast and powerful enough to become entities with intelligence far exceeding that of humans is inevitable (Vinge 5). In addition to the fact that technology will surpass human intelligence, according to logical reasoning, it is clear that technologies will also maintain a level of intelligence that will allow them to take control of their own evolution and perhaps even reach the point of being defined as human beings. sentient beings (Grossman 7).
