Abstract

According to Kurzweil, technological singularity is the inevitable change of human civilization by all developments in technology, especially artificial intelligence. Open and distance learning systems are the systems that allow individuals to access learning materials and get education whenever and wherever they want. These systems are widely used today in programs offered by universities such as associate degree, undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as certificate programs and massive open online courses. This study discusses the technological singularity within the context of super-human and Human 2.0 concepts regarding the definition of “new human” that this phenomenon will shape, its reflections on education, and especially open and distance learning, namely open universities, and how these systems will transform. Its effects on managerial activities and managed processes in management were investigated, and suggestions have been made for restructuring management in accordance with this change and singularity in technology.
