SINGULARITY: Choosing Humanity’s Future in the AI Age

Artificial Intelligence is no longer distant speculation - it is here, embedded in everyday life. It detects fraud before it strikes, helps doctors see tumours invisible to the human eye, and streamlines the way we work. Yet it also deceives: deepfake voices ordering fraudulent transfers, synthetic images used for blackmail, and "shadow AI" creeping into organisations through the shortcuts of well-meaning employees. SINGULARITY - Choosing Humanity's Future in the AI Age explores this paradox. It traces the arc from Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) shaping our present, through Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) that may test our future, to the prospect of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) that could surpass us entirely. But technology alone is not the whole story. Alongside the possibility of a machine singularity lies the prospect of a human singularity, a tipping point in our own behaviours, cultures, and choices. Through vivid stories and grounded behavioural science, Andy Wood shows that AI is neither saviour nor destroyer, it is a mirror. Whether the reflection strengthens or weakens us depends on what humanity does now. The true singularity is not only when machines outpace human intelligence, but when human decisions, at scale, lock in trajectories that cannot easily be undone. Accessible and urgent, Singularity offers a human-centred roadmap for navigating this crossroads. The future will not be written by machines. It will be written, or broken, by us.
