Breakthrough of generative AI assistants
Large language models become ubiquitous in work, education and creative professions.
AI agents take over complex tasks
Autonomous AI agents perform multi-step tasks without continuous human guidance.
Breakthrough in AI science: self-learning research systems
AI systems conduct scientific research independently and publish discoveries.
Rise of artificial general intelligence (AGI)
The first AI systems achieve human-like, general cognitive abilities in virtually every domain.
AI systems improve their own architecture
AGI systems begin actively contributing to the design of their successors.
Global regulation and AI safety treaties
Countries sign international treaties to control the development of superintelligent AI.
Emergence of the first superintelligent systems
AI surpasses the combined cognitive capacities of all of humanity in nearly every field.
The singularity: unpredictable transformation of humanity
Superintelligence fundamentally restructures the economy, science, and human existence.
post-singularity society
Humanity and superintelligent AIs coexist in a fundamentally new form of civilization.
post-singularity society
In this speculative distant future, traditional concepts of labor, scarcity, and even biological limitations may have been transcended. Some visions describe a symbiotic society in which humans extend their cognition with AI, while other scenarios depict a world primarily shaped by the goals of superintelligent entities. This period remains inherently uncertain and forms the speculative endpoint of the timeline.
