This would represent a singular event in the history of humans: For the first time, people would be driven by laws other than those ruling organic life. A broad front of converging core technologies could make individuals with such capacities commonplace by 2030, if not sooner, and indeed, steps are already being taken to achieve this aim. One key social function that will be influenced by the Singularity is leadership, a chief defining factor of a society's values, relations, and goals.
