Summary/Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of security and the international security environment through the hypothesis of technological singularity. Technological development and its consequences on the future of humanity are topics that have been deeply debated over the last few years in the Western academic world. The advocates of the technological singularity hypothesis, forth most part, believe that the accelerated pace of technological development, especially in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), will lead to a period of such profound changes of society beyond which it is almost impossible to foresee what the future of humanity will look like.Analyzing a number of issues regarding the technological singularity hypothesis, I have tried to highlight the consequences of accelerated technological development on current security paradigms, as well as the military challenges that come with technological advancement.
