Summary/Abstract: The society we live in is constantly changing. The world as we knew it until now is undergoing accelerated technological evolution. The emergence of artificial intelligence and as many systems related to it as possible are leading society into an increasingly technological world. Some thinkers even place the future of humanity in a world where artificial intelligence will be so advanced that it will surpass itself and superintelligence will emerge, leading to a technological singularity. Humanity as we know it will certainly undergo major changes, since a fusion of man and machine is even predicted. The technological singularity is often conceptualized as a point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human cognitive capabilities, ushering in an era of irreversible transformation. What will the future of humanity be in this context? Will a balance between man and his creation be possible, or will everything we have known so far end, and will this era be a new beginning?
