Pending

Criterion: Nonbiological intelligence and human-machine integration reach the extraordinary scale asserted for the 2045 singularity.

Deadline: 2045 · Not counted in this comparison

By review datePARTLY FULFILLED

The 2045 forecast is not yet due. AI capabilities are substantial, but there is no established measurement showing fulfillment of the entire singularity claim.

Deadline and follow-up notes

At deadline: The 2045 forecast is not yet due.

Capability, adoption, and timing

A related breakthrough is not automatically fulfillment. Review must check the actual capability, how widely it was required to be used, the specified technology, and the original deadline. A prototype cannot establish a claim about routine or widespread use.

Research notes & history

The label is forward-looking and partly conceptual. Current partial progress does not settle the future aggregate threshold.

Review history

— Evidence v0.2: PENDING. The dated proposition is attributable, but there is no agreed operational intelligence unit. The future label does not assert that the prediction is on track. Change: Complete deadline/current outcome assessment under explicit scope; separate uncertainty from verdict.

— Evidence v0.3: EDITORIAL_ASSESSMENT_COMPLETE; supplied verdict PENDING. The 2045 forecast is not yet due. AI capabilities are substantial, but there is no established measurement showing fulfillment of the entire singularity claim.
