MODERATORS
For those wondering, the AI singularity is a concept in which an AI becomes intelligent enough to improve its own intelligence and does so. The idea is that it continually improves itself over and over until it reaches the highest level of intelligence possible.
It is a potential Deus Ex Machina scenario - a God from a machine.
Edit: to be clear, this is not a scientific idea, it's not really proveable, falsifiable, or even testable in any straightforward fashion. It's mostly a philosophical thought experiment. A hypothetical.
