The Silent Journey of Transformation

Melek KURTULAN ‣
We know that profound changes are happening in our lives. These changes are significant. But what are these changes? What do they add to our lives, or perhaps, without us realizing it, are they distancing us from the real world? Today, I will discuss how access to information compares to the past.
In the past, people would examine books subject by subject when searching for information. Those who didn’ t have books at home might have visited every library to find even the smallest piece of information they sought. For people in the past, a small piece of information was like a bright light guiding them to their conclusions.
Now, our world is much brighter. In short, in the pursuit of knowledge, humans neither get lost nor encounter difficulties. As the first young people to use artificial intelligence, we see it as a path to our future. Everything we need is at our fingertips, and we can find the answers to even the smallest questions using artificial intelligence without thinking or debating. Although we currently see artificial intelligence only as a helpful tool, it is a fact that it will be central to our lives in the coming years.
The future of artificial intelligence will be powerful enough to replace many people, objects, and even thoughts. Even though today we have teachers who help students, bosses who guide interns, and elderly people who teach us about life, in the future, artificial intelligence will respond to our every call. While some find it frightening and others say,“ AI will save the world,” it is seen as a reality we must accept. Now, a different path, a different world, and a completely different self from what we are used to are beginning to emerge.
