Question

Using just one sentence, define the term “technological singularity”. Then give one common argument that such a singularity will happen within approximately the next 40 years. Then give two concerns or worries that are sometimes expressed about the idea of the singularity. In each case indicate whether or not the argument is basically deductive or inductive.

Answer 1

Technological Singularity can be be defined in one sentence as following:-

"The growth in the technology where it was hyper and it cannot be reversed which results in affecting human civilization."

Many examples can be given for technological singularity and this became a huge topic of discussion.

Moreover many polls were conducted to analyze whether this singularity will make a huge impact or not.

By the polling results it was declared that there was a 50% chance that AI which is acronym of Artificial Intelligence would be developed by 2040 to 2050.

One of the case that expresses the technological singularity can be described as:-

Now a days there was high craze over robots,because there may not be more burden on humans while doing any work and the usage of robots make the tasks accurate and faster.

As there are both sides of a coin the major concern of this robots which were made using AI technology can be said as:-

There were many changes made in preparation of robots which results in higher risk for humans where there was a chance that everyone may loose their jobs and become more dependent on robots,which results in higher risk of death and so it was health hazard,which should be considered as a major point in technological singularity.

In this case the argument is deductive because we have expressed the case from general to specific.

We can consider other case as the following:-

Day by day the technologies made the humans not to worry for the diseases that they are suffering from.This was the major achievement that was made by using and development of technology.

Moreover the diagnosis of disease will also be very very accurate even if the issue was minor.So this way technology was very helpful.But this may lead to technological singularity when the machines were out of control.

In this case the argument is inductive because we have expressed the case from specific to general.

So the above definition and concerns discuss some cases of Technological Singularity.
