This volume contains a selection of authoritative essays exploring
the central questions raised by the conjectured technological
singularity. In informed yet jargon-free contributions written by
active research scientists, philosophers and sociologists, it goes
beyond philosophical discussion to provide a detailed account of
the risks that the singularity poses to human society and, perhaps
most usefully, the possible actions that society and technologists
can take to manage the journey to any singularity in a way that
ensures a positive rather than a negative impact on society. The
discussions provide perspectives that cover technological,
political and business issues. The aim is to bring clarity and
rigor to the debate in a way that will inform and stimulate both
experts and interested general readers.
