Is There an Algorithm to Find the Absolute Truth?
Is There an Algorithm to Find the Absolute Truth
In the near future, robot assistants with artificial intelligence may enter our lives, keeping our health under constant control and helping us in many matters during the day.
Not that much, let's just say this is a future where artificial intelligence technologies are a little more advanced and humanity somehow develops an artificial intelligence to solve global problems.
Humanity would never leave control to an artificial intelligence, but at least consider it appropriate to evaluate the solutions offered by that artificial intelligence as a preliminary recommendation for its own evaluations.
Maybe there are such artificial intelligences now! Or it may be developed very soon!
So maybe this is not a date much later than today.
Considering that the developments in artificial intelligence technology will progress at this pace, I think artificial intelligence will enter our lives in every aspect very quickly.

Cingöz, tell me, what should I do today?
I think it would be beneficial to start the day with exercise, go drink a glass of water and then walk two kilometers on the treadmill. You have your breakfast after you shower!
What should I give you for breakfast today?
You want a honey, butter, toast pill? Or do you prefer scrambled eggs with butter, sausage and egg?
My advice is to take olive cheese pills today, because I detect a decrease in your vitamin level.
I can revisit my post-workout advice if you want!

Do you really think we are heading towards such a future?
Jokes aside, in the near future, robot maids with artificial intelligence may enter our lives, keeping our health under constant control and helping us in many matters during the day.
Or should I call these robot servants life coaches with artificial intelligence?
Perhaps life assistant would be the most accurate description.
Helpful robots that give lots of advice!

I think similar practices will probably occur in almost every profession.
Imagine, since I am an engineer, let me give an example from my own profession. You carry a robot assistant engineer with you, and it constantly warns you on the construction site.
Tell that worker to put on his seat belt, he is working on the scaffolding, he will fall down now!
Look, look, that worker isn't wearing his helmet either!
But they are robot workers! Why should they wear seat belts?
Why would a robot worker wear a helmet?
Okay, these are the rules! Entering the construction site is dangerous and prohibited!
Everyone will comply with the safety rules!
Even if it is a robot worker, it will fit!
Put your helmet on too!
But I'm wandering around the construction site in the virtual environment from the office, why should I wear a helmet for no reason?
That's okay, just put it on, an iron from the scaffolding might fall on your head or something, and let's not bother with you!
Or, for example, a judge, could judges have to make artificial intelligence-supported decisions in the courts tomorrow?
Your honor, if we look at the development of the incident and the evidence, the subject of the case is self-defense according to Article 25/1 of the Turkish Penal Code, so the defendant should be released!
Silicone head, shut up, the order came from a big place, we need to keep the defendant behind bars for many more years, or they will deport us both to Çemişgezek!
OK, the decision has been made!
Pursuant to Article 48 of the Turkish Penal Code, the defendant should be sentenced to life imprisonment…

If artificial intelligence is really tried to be used in the country's management in the near future, do you think it will be possible for artificial intelligence to make more accurate decisions than humans on some issues?
Okay, could it be that the management authority will still be in the hands of human beings, but in this case, after a while, we humans will lose our ability to decide?
As a result, artificial intelligence will evaluate events much faster than us humans. Our age is the age of super speed, but we are not organisms that work that fast.
We are a little lazy too!
Since navigators are already used in the city, people have started to not recognize the city as they used to.
Most of us can only find addresses with commands from the navigator.

I recently watched a video on the internet titled There is no algorithm to find absolute truth.
It was an interesting program where there was a discussion about whether we can reach absolute truth with artificial intelligence. The speaker's name was Tom Scott.
He was actually a YouTube phenomenon and a web designer.
He is quite young, and his education is not the best.
He studied English language and literature at York University in England.
While he was studying, he worked as a presenter on his university's radio.
I mean, he's not a professor or anything.
Still, he's knowledgeable.
I don't know how many followers he has today, but since he was accepted as a speaker at the Royal Institute, I guess he is considered an authority on this subject.
Also, the topic of conversation is an interesting topic, whether artificial intelligence can reach exactly the right information.
***
Tom Scott's opinions aside, I think it is really difficult for artificial intelligence to obtain accurate information.
Is it possible to write an algorithm that can find the exact truth?
Sometimes, events happen that, even as humans, we have to harm someone no matter which option we choose.
For example, if you are in a truck with brakes released while going downhill, if you turn the steering wheel to the right, you will hit the elderly people at the stop, if you turn to the left, you will crush the little child on the side of the road, if you go straight, there is a cliff in front of you, you will fly down the cliff yourself!
Which option would you choose?
I would probably jump off the truck and think, let the truck fly off the cliff!
Maybe I would have broken a few bones when I jumped out of the truck at that speed, but no matter what, the broken bone would heal instead, the only damage would be to myself and the property in the truck.
But what if the truck was under the control of an artificial intelligence and you were busy doing something else inside at that moment?
Come on, see if you can get out of this. Write an algorithm and I will see you!
***
Of course, this example may be an unrealistic example for today, but sometimes it is not possible to find the exact truth in our choices. We have to give up something with every choice we make.
I wonder how well an artificial intelligence can make the right choice if it is in a similar situation?
Moreover, as I said, in the future, if people like today's navigators get used to the ease of artificial intelligence decisions, they may forget to make the right decision themselves.
I don't know, my lord knows!
Sorry, I meant to say that my half-witted and artificially intelligent assistant knows.
***
Yes, in a future where artificial intelligence will make the decisions and if humans leave inherently difficult decisions to artificial intelligence, which is quite a possibility, it is a complete mystery how consistent these decisions will be, or in other words, how humane they will be.
I think it is unclear who will even be legally responsible for this in a possible situation, but that aspect of the incident is another matter.
We can also say that if humanity leaves the decisions that are very difficult to make at the state level, such as war, to the control of artificial intelligence tomorrow, then humanity will come to an end.
Yes, people will make such critical decisions themselves, but I think the decisions taken will be a little too silicone-smelling since they will also take artificial intelligence suggestions into account when making their decisions.
***
Whatever I say, it won't matter what I say.
Let me end the article by saying that we should be prepared for the future these days when artificial intelligence is being used even in determining candidates.
If you are wondering what to prepare, let me share with you an advice that a brother of mine once gave me.
A brother of mine used to say that when you realize you are going to have an accident with your car, always look behind you in the mirror.
When I asked what use it would be, what was behind him, he said it wouldn't be of any use, but at least you would know if someone was going to hit you from behind.
So, these things seem a bit like everything is going to happen.
The only way to satisfy your curiosity is to wait and see what happens. If you're curious, keep your eyes in the rearview mirror.
