Proponents of Technological Singularity claim that Artificial Intelligence will surpass human intelligence by the year 2045, when technology will enslave or exterminate humanity. Carolle M. Dalley uses psychological principles to respond to that claim. In one response to Singularity, she explains the principle of enantiodromia in relation to historic transitions. Enantiodromia describes the transition from an extreme focus of conscious attention to the emergence of a counter movement from the unconscious aspect of the psyche. The historic examples used to demonstrate enantiodromia are transitions from Roman Catholicism to Newtonian Science; from Enlightenment to Romanticism; and from Modernism to Postmodernism. In the current Digital Revolution, Singularity is the extreme focus of conscious attention. The extremity of that conscious focus is fostering a counter movement that Ms. Dalley predicts will become a Psychological Revolution. The ascendency of technology in the Digital Revolution will give way to a Psychological Revolution, when psychological capabilities become ascendant. She also proposes that Artificial Intelligence has the software tools to help Analytical Psychology acquire the scientific footing it has long sought.
