N2  - The concept of a "singularity" in human history, where humans are expected to be overtaken by artificial intelligence, has become a serious debate. The author  explores the potential implications of this event, examining the philosophical and pragmatic implications of the idea. The author discusses the rapid development of AI, both biologically inspired and engineered from scratch, and the potential impact on human personhood, responsibility, rights, and identity. The singularity presents both a threat and an opportunity for humanity to transcend its limitations
