The Political Stance of Artificial Intelligence

Written by: Murat Selvi

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the talk of the global village nowadays. Many deem it a fancy technology reminiscent of the best science fiction work. Others present it as a panacea for all the world’s ills. However, such excessive views do not contribute to an informed debate. First, AI, as we know it presently, is still in its infancy. While the applications offered by OpenAI, especially in the last two years, have reignited passionate feelings about the future of AI, it is believed that several aspects of digitisation have triggered a bigger leap in the technological age than AI. However, the dangers of new developments in the AI field and the threats to daily life should not be swept under the rug either.
