Many philosophers and scientists think AI could one day reach (or even go beyond) human-style "thinking" This possibility, coupled with our increasing dependence on AI, is at the root of a concept in futurism called "technological singularity" The "singularity" refers to a point in time at which the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI) becomes so advanced that it will irreversibly change human civilization.
