The Advent of Technological Singularity: a Formal Metric

TL;DR

This paper introduces a formal metric to objectively assess the current progress towards achieving the technological singularity and surpassing human intelligence with artificial general intelligence.

Contribution

It presents the first-ever metric designed to quantitatively evaluate the state of technological singularity development.

Findings

The metric enables objective measurement of progress towards AGI surpassing human intelligence.

Provides a standardized way to compare advancements in AI research.

Facilitates clearer discussions on the timeline and feasibility of singularity.

Abstract

The Technological Singularity; that is, the possibility of achieving a General Artificial Intelligence (AGI) that surpasses human intelligence, is one of the vital paradigms of today's humanity. However, until now only opinions about its possibility and/or achievement were issued, therefore, in this work, a metric is presented, for the first time, to objectively measure the actual state in which the advent of technological singularity is found.
