The fantasy of creating superintelligent computers has tickled technologists since the days of ENIAC. Alan Turing, the father of computer science, ended a 1951 lecture entitled “Intelligent Machinery, a Heretical Theory,” by stating that:

Once the dust settles, and we look back on the decade that has just ended, my guess is that we will come to see the countless post-Y2K promises of artificial intelligence and machine learning for what they really were: immensely successful if you go by Bloomberg tickers and ad engagement, but empty in delivering on their utopian promises.

they’re concerned about the prospect that machine learning will suddenly “explode” in growth and precipitate an apocalyptic event, better known as the singularity.
