The technological singularity —or simply the singularity[1] —is a hypothetical future point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable consequences for human civilization. [2][3] According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, I. J. Good 's intelligence ...
Technocapitalism or tech-capitalism refers to changes in capitalism associated with the emergence of new technology sectors, the power of corporations, and new forms of organization. Technocapitalism is characterised by constant technological innovation, global competition, the digitisation of information and communication, and the growing ...

Futures studies, futures research, futurism research, futurism, or futurology is the systematic, interdisciplinary and holistic study of social/technological advancement, and other environmental trends; often for the purpose of exploring how people will live and work in the future. Predictive techniques, such as forecasting, can be applied, but ...
Hyperbolic growth. The reciprocal function, exhibiting hyperbolic growth. When a quantity grows towards a singularity under a finite variation (a "finite-time singularity") it is said to undergo hyperbolic growth. [1] More precisely, the reciprocal function has a hyperbola as a graph, and has a singularity at 0, meaning that the limit as is ...
Horizon scanning (HS) or horizon scan is a method from futures studies, sometimes regarded as a part of foresight. [1] It is the early detection and assessment of emerging technologies or threats for mainly policy makers in a domain of choice. [2][3][4] Such domains include agriculture, [5] environmental studies, [6] health care, [7 ...
The case when remains at zero for a finite length of time is called the singular control case. Between and the maximization of the Hamiltonian with respect to gives us no useful information and the solution in that time interval is going to have to be found from other considerations. One approach is to repeatedly differentiate with respect to ...
