The idea that human history is approaching a "singularity" - that ordinary humans will someday be overtaken by artificially intelligent machines or cognitively enhanced biological intelligence, or both - has moved from the realm of science fiction to serious debate. Some singularity theorists predict that if the field of artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop at its current dizzying rate, the singularity could come about in the middle of the present century.

First and foremost, continued vigilance is crucial because AI has the potential to disrupt entire industries and change the job landscape. As machines become increasingly capable of performing tasks that were exclusively done by humans, it is essential for everyone to stay informed and adaptable. By remaining vigilant, we can ensure that we are prepared for the changes AI brings and can take proactive steps to upskill ourselves accordingly.
