In his 1965 paper "Speculations concerning the first ultraintelligent machine", Good remarked that if humans can ever design an artificial intellect superior to their own then that intellect could presumably build an even more powerful artificial intellect and so on recursively. This would lead to an exponential growth in artificial intelligence that is now termed the "technological singularity"…
