The 21st century generation serves as a bridge between the past and future of artificial intelligence. Looking back at recent history, the small actions of great minds, consciously or unconsciously, have laid the foundations of artificial intelligence on a common ground.
Artificial intelligence, briefly, is a type of intelligence displayed through machines imitating human intelligence within a computer system. The development of artificial intelligence has rapidly increased exponentially. This situation leads to artificial intelligence playing an active role in various aspects of people's social and individual lives, particularly in the workplace and production processes.
Looking at today's conditions, it can be observed that artificial intelligence is present in every segment and every field of society. Artificial intelligence systems have become an indispensable part of modern human life. However, the future of artificial intelligence raises various question marks in people's minds. For example, apart from utopian issues such as the development of artificial intelligence and its escape from human control, the increasing use of artificial intelligence in technologies every day divides people's perspectives on artificial intelligence into positive and negative aspects. The idea that artificial intelligence, which makes human life more comfortable and faster, will one day largely replace humans in the workplace is a negative perspective on the future changes of artificial intelligence. However, artificial intelligence, which is increasingly used to perform more efficient actions under human control, not only in social or work life but also in the field of science, enables humans to reach much further and in much shorter timeframes than their current capabilities. From this perspective, the future of artificial intelligence is one of the cornerstones of human life.
In this age where we stand between the past and future of artificial intelligence, it is possible to say that we are still in the early stages of artificial intelligence. Because the emergence and development of AI have occurred relatively recently. In his book "The History and Future of Artificial Intelligence," published in 2010, author Nils J. Nilsson outlines the historical outline of this technology.
Artificial intelligence is a new generation technology that pushes the boundaries of the human mind. The rapid development of artificial intelligence today is essentially due to the accumulated knowledge. Therefore, although not much time has passed since its inception, its development is quite rapid. In general, the development stages of artificial intelligence as it approaches our day are as follows:
• The English mechanical engineer Charles Babbage designed and operated the Analytical Engine, laying the groundwork for the concept of programmable computers between 1833 and 1871.
• On February 19, 1946, Alan Turing presented a detailed design of a computer with a programmable memory for the first time.
• The term "artificial intelligence" was first used by John McCarthy in a workshop in 1956.
• In the early 1960s, the first face recognition techniques were developed with a CIA-supported program. In the 1970s, the program was updated to recognize and distinguish individuals.
• In 1967, the first chess match between computers was held in history, ending in a draw. In the same year, in April, a computer scoring at a moderate level in a chess match against a human entered the annals.
• In Japan in 1972, the first humanoid robot, named WABOT-I, was made.
• The first "AI Winter" occurred between 1974 and 1980. The reason was the negative evaluation of artificial intelligence studies in publications, leading governments to stop allocating funds for AI studies.
• After 1980, there was a competition in artificial intelligence between countries, and the competition between the UK and Japan accelerated AI studies. However, due to the failure of expert systems to fulfill their promises, the Second AI Winter, which lasted from 1987 to 1993, emerged.
• In 1985, the first portable computer was produced and launched on the market.
• Artificial intelligence studies became part of human life with the Roomba electric vacuum cleaner in the early 2000s.
• GAN (Generative Adversarial Networks) was discovered by Ian Goodfellow in 2014. This system allowed for the creation of realistic fake productions.
• In 2016, Sophia, a social humanoid robot, was developed by Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based company.
• In 2018, Google released BERT. BERT, based on transformer network, became the world's best chess player by playing against itself.
• In 2020, Alphafold, an artificial intelligence program that makes predictions about protein structures, took a big step towards solving the protein folding problem that has been studied for over 50 years.
• In 2021, OpenAI published a study called DALL-E, which has the ability to generate images from text.
Today, artificial intelligence is mostly supported in fields such as health, education, finance, defense industry, and cybersecurity, but artificial intelligence usage can be encountered in almost every field. The convergence of digitization and artificial intelligence has the potential to make significant changes, especially in different business worlds. The impact of artificial intelligence on current technologies is shaped to increase efficiency, support smooth operation, and optimize resource management to the optimal level.
Today, artificial intelligence has a self-improving platform. Artificial neural networks, developed inspired by the structure of the human brain, are an information processing technology that allows artificial intelligence to improve itself. Thanks to this technology, artificial intelligence programs, smartphones, autonomous vehicles, and robotic systems exhibit high efficiency. The effects of artificial intelligence systems on today's technologies are generally as follows:
• The risk of human error is minimized.
• Complex tasks are performed systematically without interruption.
• It ensures smooth operation.
• By efficiently using resources, it facilitates individuals/workers to focus on their own goals and tasks.
• It offers options that make human life more comfortable at home, at work, or in social life by being integrated with robotic systems and autonomous vehicles.
• Through reporting, analyzing, and processing data, it not only increases efficiency but also shortens the time allocated to tasks from systematic work fields to scientific studies.
Artificial intelligence offers significant advantages for today's technologies based on accumulated knowledge and acquired experiences. It is developed to contribute to every technology. As stated in Nils J. Nilsson's book "The History and Future of Artificial Intelligence," it seems almost impossible to find an area where this growth does not affect today's technologies.
To accurately analyze and predict what artificial intelligence will change in the future, one must first examine its effects on current technologies. Researches provide the opportunity to categorize the effects of artificial intelligence on current technologies under a few headings, which facilitates making future predictions about artificial intelligence. Experts' comments on the future of artificial intelligence and the changes it will bring are as follows:
• Artificial intelligence, which has been rapidly developing and integrated into the business world over the past 10 years, has created a significant change in the workforce. This situation, while speculating about the future of artificial intelligence, increases the possibility of new job opportunities emerging and the popularity of these types of jobs.
• The contributions of artificial intelligence to science and academia are an inevitable fact. With its fast data processing, error-free data analysis, and reporting abilities, it can produce much more accurate data in a much shorter time than a human being. When looking at the future of artificial intelligence, it can be seen that it will be used much more actively in science and academia.
• Another significant impact of
artificial intelligence on the business world is the transformation it has created in the way business is done. In many sectors today, traditional ways of doing business have been abandoned, and the digitization process has begun. Therefore, it is likely that artificial intelligence will have a greater impact on the way business is done in the future.
• Artificial intelligence, with its ability to think humanly, offers the opportunity for quick action and planning in solving problems. Thus, it can be thought that artificial intelligence will make significant contributions to solving various global problems humanity may encounter in the coming years.
• Considering today's lifestyle, the integration of artificial intelligence into devices such as phones, computers, vacuum cleaners, ovens, and many other devices suggests that in the coming years, artificial intelligence will offer practical uses even in the smallest moments of life.
• Famous artists believe that artificial intelligence technology will be able to produce films in the very near future.
• According to experts, education is one of the areas where artificial intelligence will play a more active role in the coming years. According to experts, artificial intelligence will open the doors to a world where virtual classes and virtual learning are effective.
Although it is inevitable that artificial intelligence will bring about changes in many different fields in the coming years, the direction of thes
