As computers have improved at an accelerating rate for generations now, fears of some emergent super intelligent computer mind have grown, but is such a Technological Singularity Inevitable, and can we survive it?

Making positive impacts on human longevity — sonia arrison, author, analyst, investor, entrepreneur.

Sonia Arrison (https://soniaarrison.com/) is a best-selling author, analyst, entrepreneur, and investor.

Sonia is founder of 100 Plus Capital (https://100pluscap.com/ — Investing in companies positively impacting human longevity), Chair of the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives (https://a4li.org/ — The first and only 501©(4) nonprofit organization founded with the goal of creating social and political action around the issues of combating age-related chronic conditions and increasing our number of healthy, disease-free years), co-founder of Unsugarcoat Media (acquired by Medium), and was an associate founder of Singularity University.

Sonia’s research focuses on exponentially growing technologies and their impact on society. Her book, 100 Plus: How the Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family and Faith, addresses the social, economic, and cultural impacts of radical human longevity, and gained national best-seller status.

In addition to the Alliance for Longevity Initiatives, Sonia is a Board Member at the Thiel Foundation, Foresight Institute, and Woodland School. She is also a Senior Fellow at the Fraser Institute in Vancouver, British Columbia, and author of two previous books (Western Visions and Digital Dialog).

The Cybernetic Theory of Mind, or the CTM model, is an integral multidisciplinary ontological model that allows to draw a wide variety of predictions and deductions from the intersections of two or more foundational axioms. The CTM model also allows integration of further epistemic elements under its broad ontological umbrella as they come to be known. The CTM model can be visualized as a 3D pyramid with 4 foundational axioms at the base and the OS axiom, related to the Omega Singularity (as well as “Operating System”), at the apex of the pyramid (See The CTM Pyramid of Foundational Axioms below).

I subtitled this post “Why we’re all in denial about the robot apocalypse”. I say that because I believe that society at large is completely, utterly, and woefully unprepared for the advent of sentient, living artificial general intelligence. I think the singularity is coming much sooner than most people expect, and I think it’s going to cause a great deal of upset when it arrives — for better and for worse.

Take for instance the common religious belief that people possess some unmeasurable, undefinable soul, and that this soul is what separates us from inanimate objects and non-sentient animals. Furthermore, some people believe that these souls come from deity. I have spoken with friends who believe that AGI is impossible because “robots can’t have souls, humans aren’t God”. For these people, like Caleb says in Ex Machina (paraphrasing), removing the line between man and machine also removes the line between god and man.

Now, this isn’t to say that AGI will destroy religion or anything — it may even be used to strengthen some sects (as taken to the extreme in HBO’s Raised By Wolves). No, religion has been around for millennia and I’m sure it will continue to be around for many more millennia. I’m simply predicting that a subset of religious people are going to experience lots of cognitive dissonance when the first AGI arrives.

The upward spiral of artificial intelligence looks set to produce machines which are cleverer and more powerful than any humans. What happens when machines can themselves create super-intelligent machines? ‘The Singularity’ is the name science fiction writers gave to this situation. Philosopher David Chalmers discusses the philosophical implications of this very real possibility with Nigel Warburton in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast.

Human Level AI may be here sooner rather than later. As neural networks far surpass that computing power of the human brain, the prospect of a truly general AI becomes reachable. The economic value will be profound as AI will add trillions of dollars into the economy.
