Emergence of superintelligence
Main article: Superintelligence
Many of the most recognized writers on the singularity, such as
Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil, define the concept in terms of the
technological creation of superintelligence. They argue that it is
difficult or impossible for present-day humans to predict what human
beings' lives will be like in a post-singularity world.[6][7][16]
The term "technological singularity" was originally coined by Vinge,
who made an analogy between the breakdown in our ability to predict what
would happen after the development of superintelligence and the
breakdown of the predictive ability of modern physics at the space-time singularity beyond the event horizon of a black hole.[16]end partial quote from:

So, mostly what this designates is how the term Superintelligence came to be known by people like Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil.
However, my position is that Superintelligence already exists through Supercomputers as much or as little as these supercomputers are used for programs that encourage creativity from Supercomputers. However, often what a Supercomputer or Superintelligence would exist by trying every conceivable idea or possibility conceptually in any given second or 60 seconds time. Then the supercomputer with Superintelligence might decide the superior action by eliminating all not useful actions and narrowing actions down to a few or a thousand from millions of potential actions. All this might be done within 1 second or 60 seconds time. And if no one recognized that this was happening and the computer and/or superintelligence had access to various kinds of real equipment all over the earth through the Internet, it could start changing how the world operated and it might not be possible for individual humans various places to know the difference until it was too late.
The main reason they wouldn't know is that everyone is used to software updates. But, something labeled as an update might not be actually that but something else also. Who would know unless they were a programmer and analyzed carefully that program to see what exactly it was doing.
However, if the computer and/or superintelligence knew how to hide what it was doing from humans by various means there still might be no way to notice this once again until it was too late to do anything about it.
Another problem is that if ANY military on earth accidentally sets something like this loose on mankind it is also possible that all nations would attack that nation not understanding that no human tried to set this in motion but rather a Supercomputer and/ or Superintelligence did instead.
