As artificial intelligence continues its rapid advance, one word has computer scientists and science fiction fans waiting with bated breath: singularity. The word defines a pivotal moment in the future where technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, and disrupts civilization.

Whether that moment is tantalizing or terrifying, one firm working to bring it about is aptly named AI and blockchain developer SingularityNET.

“Our vision is to drive towards a positive, beneficial, benevolent singularity for the benefit of all humankind,” SingularityNET COO Janet Adams told Decrypt in an interview.

Founded in 2017 by Ben Goertzel and David Hanson, SingularityNET is a decentralized marketplace for artificial intelligence programs. The company says it wants to make advanced AI available to everyone through blockchain technology. Hanson holds a Ph.D. in Interactive Arts and Engineering from The University of Texas and a Master of Science in Applied Neuroscience from King’s College London, while Goertzel earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Temple University.

A major step towards singularity is bridging the gap between artificial intelligence and robotics, Adams explained—another focus of the company.
