Abstract

Driven by the extreme increase in the efficiency of information technology (IT), the digitisation wave keeps approaching us unstoppably and ever faster. The so-called Moore’s Law, which more than 50 years ago has already described a doubling of the capacity of integrated circuits over a period of 12 months (Moore in Electronics 38(8), 1965), has been synonymous with the ongoing massive increase in the performance of IT. If the basic technology was not changed, this law would no longer be valid. However, due to technological leaps, the principle of exponential growth in performance still applies. There don’t appear to be technological limits and it is only a matter of time until human intelligence will be overtaken by “machine intelligence” and so-called singularity be reached.
