Singularity:
In the case of Ray Kurzweil, singularity is a term that describes how technology will control s in the future. Technological singularity means a point where progress is so rapid the human brain can no longer grasp it. People will rely on computers, robots, and many other technologies of the future to function for them. They will augment their minds with these technologies and we will be transformed with artificial intelligence.

In Kurzweil's book, he explains that once singularity has been reached; intelligence has become completely artificial, machine intelligence will be quintillions times more intelligent than the minds of the human race. Kurzweil then explains that this intelligence will expand into the universe. 

For Kurzweil's assumption and prediction, he receives a lot of criticism on his ideas of singularity and the future of artificial intelligence. For only emphasizing the benefits, he is scolded and accused of his story being a religious analogy.
