| Singularitarianism is not usually a religion, but it can resemble religious or eschatological thinking when it offers a future transformation of humanity, a salvific role for intelligence, or hope for radical life extension. It overlaps with transhumanism, AI ethics, artificial intelligence theism, and technology-centered spirituality. Neutral coverage should distinguish technical forecasting from metaphysical claims.
