The uninterrupted connection between human evolution and technology shows that throughout their evolution, humans have been in a consistent struggle towards owning tools and devices which make their lives easier and better by the use of technology. These consistent struggles and inventions mainly aim to make people's work faster, more effective and safer. Looking at the general evolutionary path of human and technology, it is clearly seen that technology has become a means of overcoming the limitations and physical capabilities of people. In this regard, doing more, learning the past and future faster, interacting with people in other parts of the world in an easier way, having geopolitical advantages and various benefits, such as imperialism; can only be realized by using the capabilities of technology. When considering the constant competition between global powers in order to take advantage of technological advantages in line with the interests of imperialism, it becomes clear that in fact, in the essence of this competition, it needs to look for the reasons which characterize the rapid development of today's technology. Within the subject - considering today's technological development as tools of imperialism of the future, we have tried to explore the problem from a new and different context, especially by analyzing the approach of artificial intelligence to technological singularity through analysis, synthesis, and synergistic methods.
