“We will experience this transformation together”

At the conference, participants mostly asked questions about how artificial intelligence will transform professions in the future. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevinç Koçak gave examples from the past and said, "We will experience this transformation together, we can see what the future will be like with examples from the past." Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sevinç Koçak stated the adventure of technology coming to the present day, starting from the use of typewriters, and that just as humanity has adapted to every subject, it will also adapt to the new era expected to take place with artificial intelligence. 

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Şebnem Gürsoy Ulusoy, on the other hand, stated: “We are now talking about beyond technology. In the 21st century, we are in a period where mutual learning continues constantly. We are also facing a period when digital immigrants begin to learn a lot of information from digital natives.” Steps were planned to be taken to repeat the conference, where the participants felt more conscious, particularly about the fear of artificial intelligence, for a wider audience.
