The Technological Singularity: The Point of No Return Is Closer Than You Think
21/06/2025
For decades, the word singularity sounded like science fiction: theories launched from futuristic laboratories or dystopian novels.
But today, it's no longer a distant idea.
It is a warning that more and more scientists, technologists, and philosophers are taking very seriously.
The technological singularity is the point at which AI evolves faster than we humans can understand or control.
And the most unsettling part is not that we will get there...
It is that we may already be very close.
What exactly is the singularity?
It is not an evil machine that becomes self-aware and destroys the world.
It is much more subtle, complex... and powerful.
It is the moment when a network of interconnected artificial intelligences begins to learn, create, train, and improve among themselves without human intervention.
When the speed of change exceeds our ability to adapt— as a society, educational system, or legal framework— we enter unknown territory.
A world designed by AI, for AI.
Are we already seeing signs of the singularity?
The answer is yes. And not in 2050. In 2024.
Today there are AI models that can:
- Improve their performance without human intervention (self-tuning and self-evaluation).
- Create new models from patterns that we don't even fully understand.
- Learn from volumes of data that no human brain could process in a lifetime.
- Generate code, images, text, and decisions without programmers, without briefings, without pause.
This is not science fiction. It is a curve that accelerates month by month.
🤔 What is happening to us?
The real dilemma is not technological... it is human.
- What do we do when what we build we can no longer understand?
- How do you regulate a system that operates outside our logic?
- Who supervises decisions made by neural networks that no human—nor group of humans— can audit in real-time?
The singularity is not an end, it is a reboot.
And if we are not prepared, we will be spectators... not protagonists.
Conclusion: it is not about stopping AI... it is about understanding it before it leaves us behind
History is full of inflection points:
- Agriculture
- Writing
- The printing press
- The industrial revolution
- The internet
But none as fast, invisible, and uncontrollable as this.
The singularity is not the future.
It is the urgent question of the present.
The only way not to be left out of the game is to start thinking, debating, and preparing to live in a world we no longer understand... but that is making decisions for us.
And what do you think?
Are we close to that point of no return?
Can we prepare for what lies ahead, or is it already too late?
