Does DeepSeek point towards multiple future Singularities? Kurzweil predicts AGI by 2029 & the Technological Singularity by 2045, and Dr. Alessandro Fontana discusses five scenarios for a post-singularity world.
Before we get into Post-Singularity scenarios, let’s talk about The Singularity itself: Ray Kurzweil has predicted the development of Artificial General Intelligence by 2029, leading to a technological singularity by 2045. In this interview, Dr. Fontana outlines possible futures based on "AI alignment", which aims to steer AI systems toward a person's or group's intended goals, preferences, or ethical principles.
We also discuss the DeepSeek AI, which has reduced the cost of AI development and may result in a large number of AI & future AGI systems - thereby leading to the possibility of multiple Technological Singularities in disparate systems across the globe.
Dr. Alessandro Fontana is an interdisciplinary engineer specialized in Cybersecurity, Artificial Intelligence and their growing mutual interactions.
Dr. Fontana works in IT Security and Data Science at Bosch, and his diverse of interests includes psychology, helped him pioneer the field of Cybersecurity and AI at Bosch engineering. His career work also includes experience in Cybersecurity, including the development of a novel method for rendering neural networks more resilient to adversarial intrusions.
He has a Master’s in Electronic Engineering from Milan Polytechnic University, and a PhD in Computer Science from Gdańsk University of Technology.
