{{Cquote|When humanity builds machines with greater-than-human intelligence, they will also be better than we are at creating still smarter machines. Those improved machines will be even more capable of improving themselves or their successors. This is a positive feedback loop that could, before losing steam, produce a machine with vastly greater than human intelligence: machine superintelligence. Such a superintelligence would have enormous powers to make the future unlike anything that came before it.
Event horizon: All social and technological progress thus far has come from human brains. When technology creates entirely new kinds of intelligence, this will cause the future to be stranger than we can imagine. So there is an ‘event horizon’ in the future beyond which our ability to predict the future rapidly breaks down.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120623233918/http://singularity.org/singularity-faq/ Singularity FAQ - written by Luke Muehlhauser]</ref>}}
Muehlhauser does concede that a technological singularity may never occur.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120623233918/http://singularity.org/singularity-faq/ Singularity FAQ - written by Luke Muehlhauser]</ref>
