What is Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Brief? Will AI and Robots Take Over Human Jobs? Where is AI Used?
What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Artificial Intelligence can be defined as the transfer of a human’s thinking and cognitive characteristics to machines through algorithms. AI is not a system that merely memorizes or replays the data you upload, like a recording system. AI is a system used in various fields that performs tasks typically done by humans, understands these tasks, and adapts to new information.
History of Artificial Intelligence. What is the history of AI?
According to known records, the history of artificial intelligence dates back to 1956. After 1956 in America, a second conference was held in 1959 in Erzurum, Turkey, where Turkish mathematician Cahit Arf spoke about artificial intelligence. Cahit Arf stated that AI is possible, and the biggest difference between machines and humans is that machines do not make aesthetic decisions or feel free to decide whether to do a task or not.
The Introduction of AI into Our Lives and Its Current Applications
Artificial intelligence has rapidly entered our lives in the last 20 years. Initially, its applications were in large companies, healthcare, research areas, and websites. Today, AI is used by everyone in their pockets and homes. AI is continually advancing rapidly and is used in many fields, including cybersecurity, healthcare, financial institutions, social media, e-commerce, and manufacturing. It helps in sales, production, accurate analysis, language translations, stopping attacks, and processing appropriate data for health.
Will AI Take Over People’s Jobs?
It would be incorrect to attribute this solely to AI. Let me give you an example: In the past, to record aerial footage, you needed a helicopter, a helicopter pilot, a camera, and a cameraman. Now, a drone can do all of this, and a 15-year-old can buy this drone online. Based on this example, it is not surprising that technology and AI will both make people’s jobs easier and, in some cases, replace them.
What Conveniences Has AI Brought to Our Lives?
The conveniences that AI has brought to our lives include speeding up the process of executing tasks and making decisions, making accurate decisions, managing time efficiently, opening up to the world through language, accessing every country and product in the field of commerce, getting suggestions in situations of indecision, reducing accidents in the automotive sector, examining laboratory data in the healthcare sector, quickly identifying the compatibility scenarios of millions of molecules, and producing personalized medicine. It is clear that AI, as it continues to develop, makes tasks easier.
Science Fiction: Can AI Control the World? Will AI Take Over the World? Can AI Robots Live with Humans?
Firstly, AI technology, robot technology, energy and chip technology, and information processing technology are not yet sufficient. AI-powered robots with mobility currently need to travel with a technical team and require cooling when they overheat. If AI or robots from movies like Terminator, Eagle Eye, or Resident Evil existed with today’s technology, Terminator Arnold Schwarzenegger would suddenly stop while chasing Sarah Connor, saying, “My system has overheated, I need to cool down.” Similarly, Resident Evil or Eagle Eye computers would call a technician for system maintenance.
Yes, looking at the scenarios of science fiction movies and series can be frightening. However, this has always been the case. Every technological advancement has solved some problems while creating new ones in the hands of bad actors. The technology developed to process information and benefit humanity has also been misused by humans. What AI will become or what robots will do depends on the intentions of the people who create this technology.
Is the future scary? If you ask me, yes, it is, because we do not yet know how to use it properly.
