This Singularity FAQ was co-authored by myself and Kaj Sotala. It is not intended to be an introduction to the Singularity; rather, it is intended to answer the questions of those who have already heard about the Singularity, but still have questions about some of the issues. Due to its length, this document has been broken up into many different sub-sections. Sections of the Singularity FAQ:

Alternatives to Friendly AI

AI and Consciousness

The desirability of a Singularity

The Intelligence Explosion

General Questions

Implementing the Singularity

Implementing Friendly AI

On Intelligence

Miscellaneous Questions

The Power of Intelligence

Societal Issues

The Progress of Technology
