Since the 1950s, artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from being a concept of science fiction to becoming an integral part of our daily lives. From voice assistants to automatic translations, from health analytics to AI-generated art, we now encounter it in many areas. However, the development of AI is no longer limited to task-oriented functions—it now encompasses decision-making and learning abilities as well.
Models like GPT-4, Gemini, and Claude have started to challenge human capabilities in language understanding. But does this mean AI is on the verge of surpassing human intelligence?
According to experts, it’s possible—but it also introduces a complex ethical and philosophical debate. That’s because human intelligence is not solely defined by information processing, but also by abstract qualities such as emotion, intuition, consciousness, and morality.
In the future, a form of AI referred to as "Superintelligence" could emerge—an entity capable of developing its own software, making independent decisions, and even guiding humanity. However, if such development occurs without proper control, it could pose significant risks.
Today, we face critical questions: Who will oversee AI? How much autonomy should it have? And how will humanity establish balance with this new form of intelligence?
Will artificial intelligence remain a tool, or evolve into a conscious being? The answers will become clearer over time, but in the meantime, understanding the technology and defining ethical boundaries will be a responsibility we all share.
