No. As someone who has watch AI development since the late 70's as both a student, undergraduate and then real world programmer, every hyped-up break-through in AI has led to minor improvements but nothing that takes the programs beyond relative simplicity. Even the systems that beat grandmasters in there respective games are having to operate at gigahertz speeds, focussed on one simple task to beat the human who has to operate in a highly sensory loaded environment. The human has many things to focus on, is running at relatively low speeds (nerve impulses are glacial slow compared to the impulse sequences in silicon hardware) and is still only just being beaten. We have little or no real understanding of how the brain works, what sentience, intelligence and consciousness or free will is. Until we have this kind of understanding of ourselves, this concept that certain people are worried about (the singularity) will not happen. None of our computer systems (or all of them combined) are of the complexity of a single human baby brain. In addition, since I also believe that there is a Creator God who built and designed the universe and that new intelligences are solely in His domain, I have no concern over any such singularity ever being created by man.
