On October 17, at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank Annual Meetings held in Bangkok, Jack Clark, co-founder of Anthropic, declared 'The Singularity is Here' during the Per Jacobsson Lecture.

Currently, there are approximately ten million researchers globally, but in the future, there may be one billion virtual scientists.
