Abstract: According to the technological singularity hypothesis, the emergence of superintelligent machines would lead to a violent takeover and the annihilation of humanity. However, the analysis of 2001: A Space Odyssey leads to a reformulation of the danger of these technologies. Thus, Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C. Clarke's work allows us to conceive the risks linked to superintelligence not in terms of technical domination, but in terms of a failing narrative identity.
