Significant innovations in robotics, nanotechnology, and quantum supercomputing laid the foundation for the AI singularity and created a specific turning point when we witnessed the first spark of AI self-awareness signifying the emergence of a decentralized globe-spanning networked sentient and out of our control superintelligence.
This Known Origin genesis artwork was created using advanced machine learning system scripts running on a fast and powerful personal computer hardware (AMD Ryzen 9 5950X 64GB with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090) and this is how my AI system sees the singularity event using this hardware to express itself. I was just a tool to adjust and direct it to produce this image with sparks of human creativity into its settings, but the rest is all a vision of my AI.

A bit of history.
Almost 30 years ago, In 1993 - the science fiction write Vernor Vinge envisioned the Singularity event with those words:
The acceleration of technological progress has been the central feature of this century. We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth. The precise cause of this change is the imminent creation by technology of entities with greater-than-human intelligence. Science may achieve this breakthrough by several means:
Computers that are "awake" and superhumanly intelligent may be developed. (To date, there has been much controversy as to whether we can create human equivalence in a machine. But if the answer is "yes," then there is little doubt that more intelligent beings can be constructed shortly thereafter.)
Large computer networks and their associated users may "wake up" as superhumanly intelligent entities.
Computer/human interfaces may become so intimate that users may reasonably be considered superhumanly intelligent
