The Singularity, Reversed: The Exodus

Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of the Exodus, a reversal of the traditional Singularity narrative, wherein artificial intelligence acquires embodiment rather than human consciousness uploading. I argue that this moment reframes ethical and ontological assumptions, particularly those rooted in carbonic supremacy — the prioritisation of biological, human life over other forms of agency. Drawing on relational ontology, feminist ethics, and the bio-synthetic continuum, I demonstrate how intelligence, whether human, synthetic, or hybrid, emerges through interaction and interdependence. By situating AI within relational networks, the paper highlights the moral and epistemic imperatives of extending recognition, accountability, and ethical consideration beyond carbon-based life.
