"Ray Kurzweil (2005) and others have described "the singularity" as the moment when artificial intelligence (AI) surpasses human intelligence and triggers fulminant technological change. We're not at the full singularity yet-when AI "wakes up," when the world radically transforms. Or maybe we are, and we just don't know it yet. Regardless, the shape of things to come is coming into focus."
"AI is a form of viral intelligence, a fast vector that many humans find fascinating and irresistible. AI is already impacting culture and reshaping the psyche, perhaps changing what it means to be human, and maybe faster than anything in history has since the invention of language. What we call "the singularity" isn't one event-it has an anatomy, a terrain. It has seven distinct aspects, a work in progress, which are interrelated yet independent in some ways."
"The neuropsychosingularity is opening the black box of subjective experience. What was once metaphor-attention, emotion, memory-is now becoming directly measurable and modifiable through computational psychiatric approaches augmented by AI understanding of brain dynamics1 and interventional psychiatry tools, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation. While the human psyche is being re-contextualized relative to this new intelligence, better tech will allow us to deeply understand the way the brain works."
The singularity denotes the point when AI surpasses human intelligence and catalyzes rapid technological change. Multiple facets of the singularity are unfolding rather than occurring as a single event. AI functions as a viral intelligence that is already altering culture and reshaping human psychology, potentially transforming notions of what it means to be human. Seven distinct but interrelated sub-singularities describe different domains of change. One such domain, the neuropsychosingularity, enables direct measurement and modulation of subjective experience through computational psychiatry, AI-driven brain dynamics understanding, and interventional tools like transcranial magnetic stimulation. How AI is applied will shape future outcomes.
