Singularity: What is to become of the World? Singularity is the concept in terms of the technological creation of superintelligence, and the argument is that it is difficult or impossible for humans today to predict what a post-singularity world would be like, due to the difficulty of imagining the intentions and capabilities of superintelligence. The human race sees singularity as an event where our technology will far exceed the limitations of our human knowledge, rendering us unable to predict our own technological advances in the future. Some day, we, as the human race, will reach a point, where it will be more economically viable to create renewable energy, than to harvest oil or coal out of the ground. Many successors within the technological advance industries have the idea that advances in the robotics industry may be able to help solve all of our energy problems and look at things that will accelerate the pace at which we develop new energy technologies. Singularity has ethics that robots are based upon, just like the human race. The Three Laws of Robotics are a set of rules devised by the science fiction author Isaac Asimov. The Three Laws are: A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. Fick 2 With these laws the idea of singularity can occur without human kind's loss of individuality, identity, free will, or humanness. Also that the idea of human extinction also can not occur due to the laws implanted within the robots. They cannot injure humanity or injure a human, they must obey all human commands, and they must protect their own existence. Deny it or except
