Sutton's slides for a talk of 3 December 2013 define the AI singularity as the point "When the smartest thing on the planet is designed rather than evolved", state that, unless humans destroy themselves first, economic incentives push "inexorably towards an AI singularity", and state that humans probably cannot prevent or control the AIs.

One recorded claim. The claim panel gives its qualification, the source passages with their place in each source, and how it was checked.
