The Information and Communication Technologies Defense (ICTD) Division, U.S. Army School Cyber Leader College, provides high-quality Information Assurance/Computer Network Defense training and certification for Department of Defense personnel worldwide. We provide training primarily for the Department of Army personnel. Still, we have also trained personnel from all services and other federal agencies, including the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, Department of Defense civilian and contract employees, Department of Energy, and the Federal Aviation Administration. The Division is also responsible for research, course development, and the distribution of course materials to our satellite sites worldwide. We make every effort to remain on the cutting edge of technology and safeguard the Army's networks. Technological singularity-or singularity-is a hypothetical point when technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization. According to the most popular version of the singularity hypothesis, called intelligence explosion, an upgradable intelligent agent will eventually enter a "runaway reaction" of self-improvement cycles, each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an "explosion" in intelligence and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that qualitatively far surpasses all human intelligence.
