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.
The singularity: unpredictable transformation of humanity
This hypothetical turning point marks the moment when technological change becomes so fast and profound that future developments are no longer predictable from a human perspective. Some thinkers speculate about a utopian future of abundance and the solving of existential problems, while others warn of the loss of human control. The boundary between human and machine begins to blur, with possible integration of biological and digital intelligence.
