Carlos Fenollosa, lecturer of entrepreneurship and innovation in the Bachelor’s Degree in Biomedical Sciences at UIC Barcelona, has published “La singularity”, a book that analyses the profound changes that artificial intelligence will bring about in many areas. In his analysis, Fenollosa, lecturer of the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, highlights how, for the first time, humanity has created machines that not only process information, but can "think". In the words of the author, "the process of technological singularity has already begun", a stage that will take us to a world in which artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence, not only in capacity, but also in autonomy and adaptation.

The book exposes how the creation of tools like ChatGPT marks a before and after in technological development. The lecturer says that the impact of AI will not only be in terms of efficiency and speed, but will profoundly alter our culture, our jobs and our personal relationships.

A central theme in “singularity” is the effect of AI on employment. Fenollosa warns that "10% of the population could lose their jobs due to AI." However, the author stresses that the issue goes beyond the loss of work: “We are facing a cultural change in which work will no longer be the central axis of our lives.” Fenollosa raises crucial debates about the future of humanity, such as the need to establish an unconditional basic income, which allows society to adapt to the new post-labour era.

Carles Fenollosa is a lecturer in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at UIC Barcelona and an entrepreneur in the field of artificial intelligence. He founded Optimus Price, a company that helps retailers and brands increase their margins with AI. Singularity is a work that invites reflection on the role of AI in our society and offers a broad and grounded vision of how humanity should adapt to a future dominated by machines that can think.
