Artificial intelligence systems, created by strengthening the data analysis capability of machines, are among the most important technologies of our time.

The idea of ​​'thinking robots' was first introduced in science fiction works in the 1920s. Self-driving, learning, functioning machines were seen as exciting as well as terrifying technology.

The idea of ​​human-made beings that can move and think on their own was actually a very curious issue that has been talked about since the times of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece. In 1920, Czech writer Karel Čapek first introduced the concept of 'robot' in the theater play R.U.R (Rossum's Universal Robots). Later, the famous science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, influenced by Karel elapek, introduced us to the concept of robotics. Asimov, who has signed more than 500 valuable works throughout his life, also shed light on artificial intelligence research with a 3-point robot law. According to this law;

· A robot may not injure or harm a human being by being indifferent.

· A robot must obey orders given by humans, provided they do not conflict with the first law.

· A robot must protect its own existence as long as it does not conflict with the first or second law.

Well, of course, the story doesn't start here. Published in 1823, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein told the story of a being brought back to life thanks to science and technology, while also giving rise to the idea of ​​artificial intelligence. The heartless Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz and the humanoid robot in Metropolis, the first feature-length science fiction movie, are among the first examples of artificial intelligence figures we encounter in fiction.

Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked about technological issues in our age, where many seemingly surreal concepts are realized.

man testing machines

Scientists from various fields in the 40s and 50s; mathematicians, psychologists, engineers, economists and neurologists had already started to discuss whether an artificial brain could be created and to conduct various experiments. The most well-known development in this period was the Turing Test, developed by Alan Turing as a result of measurement theories.

Turing developed a test that measures the intelligence of machines. In this test, you were talking to a machine via a teleprinter and, on the other hand, to a human. If you couldn't tell which speakers were humans and which were machines, the machine was considered to have passed the Turing test. This method is still widely used in artificial intelligence studies today.

Mini robots in our lives

Artificial intelligence technology has endless uses today. The technology, which is used safely in vital areas such as the pharmaceutical industry and operating rooms, can also enable robots that can play chess and driverless cars. This technology, which we have begun to benefit from in all areas of our lives, of course, promises new, unopened doors to researchers and designers from many different fields. While smart machines (Siri, Alexa, etc.) that can perform a single function are designed in the arm called 'Weak Artificial Intelligence', there are more human-like designs that can perform much more complex tasks in the field we call 'Strong Artificial Intelligence'. While both fields continue to develop and adapt to our lives at full speed, on the other hand, they inflame a huge industry.
