According to many statistical studies, the period of doubling of digital information in the world is estimated from 12 to 18 months. At the same time, the doubling of the speed of computers, according to Moore's law, occurs every 24 months. Or rather, not even speed, but the number of transistors per unit area of ​​a chip chip, which may imply the onset of doubling limits due to the achievement of the molecular level of transistor sizes. It can be assumed that the point in time is not so far away when the rate of receipt of new digital information will exceed the rate of its processing. Such a state of information systems, when the rate of appearance of new digital data per unit of time exceeds the rate of their processing, we will call the information singularity. However, in the context of the digitalization of the economy and other areas of state activity, digital data is becoming not only a «key production factor», as defined in the digital economy program of the Russian Federation of 2017, but also becoming critical in terms of ensuring their safety and security.

The aim of the work is to analyze the problem of information singularity and ways to overcome it in the context of digitalization of the economy and society. The article deals with the problems of information singularity in the processing of information of multimedia data, streaming videos, in the selection of digital data for long-term storage, including the examination of value. The problem of the occurrence of information singularity when searching for related documents and managing distributed registries is also considered. The article proposes a number of approaches to solving the problem of information singularity in the context of digitalization of the economy and society. The conclusion is made about the advantages and disadvantages of using artificial intelligence to solve the problem. The advantages and disadvantages of other solutions to the problem under consideration are given. Solving the problem of information singularity will lead to a significant increase in the capabilities of information systems to ensure the safety and information security of digital data. This, in turn, will lead to an increase in the stability of the economy, the state apparatus and society as a whole.
