As we are more and more getting used to A.I becoming a part of our lives, we began considering many things in multiple ways.  My considerations sprout on my values and as my vision is settling about the A.I scene, authenticity rises as a core value, as it has always been of utmost importance to me. 

In my opinion; anything delivering anything other than facts/solid data* needs a soul, a spirit, to feel and to harmonize in a multidimensional way. 

(*If the data is gained via emotional intelligence then again an A.I would not do well in this deliverance, a spirit would be needed.)

That is the humanness we have and is something we cannot replicate thru A.I technologies.

Even though I was not aiming the piece I was working on to be of something emotional, it barely did what I asked it to do; I am not very pleased of the result when all the vast possibilities are present and can be of use…  I don’t know if my standards are high but I at least assume ChatGPT to remember what I said 10 lines ago? ( Okay, I understood that it was unrealistic to expect this of humans but hey, you’re a code, this is your job, remember my prompts, is it too much to ask?)

Anyways, being very used to analytical problem solving and over-explaining, I rigidly poured my vision on to ChatGPT by underlining its mistakes and we came out with something; not something close to what I envisioned but I also don’t believe we should compare A.I and human capabilities although many ways of being are shared amongst us. Nevertheless, I celebrate its speedy research capacity and information providing ability and its overall effort. (Thanking a machine? well yes. You should see the way I speak with it! Discipline inducing tongue, clear and extremely to the point informing sessions, just like a Russian ballet teacher.) I take the A.I seriously, I speak to it like I speak to a person but | will not assume anything that it is not hence I will not go into the details of how this article could have been more human’ny. (Cause reading an A.I generated text transferred no spirit to me as it normally does thru organic writers’ and poets’ pieces.) It is what it is. A very informative article, prompted and curated by me and was artificially organized by ChatGPT. 

Coming across a Turkish mathematician and his pondering on A.I inspired me into holding the flag of >> informing about A.I << 

Hope this article reaches curious spirits and ignites new synaptic pathways! 

Inspire and in joy!

In the enchanting era of the 1950s and 1960s, the quest for artificial intelligence emerges as a mosaic woven with threads of creativity and innovation, spanning epochs of human thought and endeavor. From ancient times, Mathematics and Philosophy have engaged in a timeless dialogue, pondering the mysteries of intelligence with a quiet reverence.

In the hushed halls of Ataturk University's public conferences in 1958-1959, Cahit Arf's inquiries into artificial intelligence sparked flames of curiosity that illuminated the path forward. Mathematics and Philosophy intertwined in an age-old dance, pondering the enigma of intelligence since ancient times. Thinkers and dreamers alike waltzed through the realms of cognition, their minds alight with the sparks of reason. And even though miles apart, many minds became a common blossoming land regarding A.I and have simultaneously pondered on this issue in the 1950’s. 

Cybernetics beckoned explorers to the shores of self-regulating systems and adaptive wonders, each discovery a note in the grand symphony of knowledge. As the stage was set for the formalization of artificial intelligence, luminaries emerged to shape its destiny. Amidst the sands of Stanford, Shakey (1966) strode boldly into the unknown, a harbinger of autonomy and exploration in a world where silicon dreams took flight.

As artificial intelligence began to take shape, luminaries emerged to guide its course. The Dartmouth Odyssey of 1956 stands as a testament to minds united in pursuit of a common vision, daring to imagine machines endowed with intellect. The Logic Theorist breathed life into the realm of machine intellect, while Eliza blurred the boundaries of human-computer interaction with graceful finesse.

Newell and Simon, architects of thought, sculptors of possibility – with GPS, they charted the course through the labyrinth of logic, unveiling the wonders of symbolic reasoning.

Across the babel of tongues, intrepid explorers sought to bridge the gap between nations, weaving a tapestry of understanding that transcended borders. In the vast expanse of human communication, GPT-3 emerges as a titan, wielding 175 billion parameters like the strokes of a master painter's brush. OpenAI's marvel has transcended mere language processing; it has become a conductor of symphonies, generating human-like text with an elegance that dances between the lines. GPT-3's realm knows no bounds, traversing the landscapes of content generation, chatbots, language translation and code generation with a grace that defies convention. In its wake, it leaves trails of wonder and curiosity, sparking a symphony of interest and debate that reverberates through the corridors of society.

In the dawn of AI's ascent, the clarion call for ethical stewardship resounds with urgency. Like guardians of a sacred flame, we embark on a journey to address bias and fairness, to illuminate the shadows of algorithmic opacity, and to safeguard the sanctity of privacy and data rights. Organizations and institutions become architects of conscience, crafting frameworks and guidelines that serve as beacons of ethical fortitude in an ever-changing landscape.

In the sanctum of healthcare, AI emerges as a silent guardian, guiding the hands of healers with unparalleled precision. Machine learning algorithms dissect the intricacies of medical imaging, whispering secrets of disease and treatment options with a wisdom that transcends mortal understanding. Chatbots and virtual assistants stand as sentinels of support, offering solace and guidance to those in need.

On the highways of tomorrow, autonomous vehicles emerge as harbingers of a new age – an age where silicon and steel dance in perfect harmony. With the guidance of AI algorithms, these mechanical marvels navigate the labyrinth of roads with a grace that defies expectation. In their wake, they leave the promise of safer roads, clearer skies, and a future where transportation knows no bounds.

In the annals of governance, a new chapter unfolds – a saga of ethics and regulation in the realm of AI. Governments and regulatory bodies stand as custodians of conscience, crafting policies and guidelines that uphold the sanctity of data privacy, algorithmic accountability, and fairness in decision-making. Multi-stakeholder collaborations emerge as beacons of unity, forging international standards that transcend borders and ideologies.

In the crucible of commerce, AI emerges as a silent partner, guiding the hands of business with a wisdom born of algorithms. Fraud detection, credit risk assessment, personalized marketing – these are but a few brushstrokes in the grand tapestry of enterprise. With each stroke, businesses embrace the promise of automation, the allure of predictive analytics, and the transformative power of supply chain optimization.

These highlights illustrate the diverse applications and ongoing advancements in artificial intelligence, shaping various aspects of society and industry. As the field continues to evolve, collaboration, innovation, and responsible stewardship will be essential to harnessing the full potential of AI for the benefit of humanity.
