The technological singularity described by futurist Ray Kurzweil is the phenomenon when technology supercedes the human intellect [1]. The current ascent to singularity is at an exponential rate (Law of Accelerating Returns) due mainly to escalating computing power (Moore's Law), and is estimated to occur by the year 2045 or sooner.
