“I wonder whether biological intelligence is a fleeting thing. And it transforms into something else that we would call machine intelligence,' said Caleb Scharf, head of Columbia University's astrobiology program.
If alien life is out there, what do you think it’s like?
Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the SETI Institute, told me that he thinks imagining that intelligent aliens would be like us is wrong in two ways. First, it’s self-centered, and second, “I think that really misses the point, mainly because, if you think about it, the most important thing we’re doing in this century is inventing our successors.” He thinks that most of the intelligence in the universe, abundant as it may be, is likely synthetic.
The terminology is drawn from math and physics: even before its usage to name the infinitely dense core of a black hole, where the laws of physics fray, “singularity” was a point where a mathematical function can’t be defined or stops behaving. And so, in imagining the AI-dominated future, it is similarly a point beyond which we cannot see.
