What is Artificial Intelligence? In this article, while answering the frequently asked questions about artificial intelligence, we will briefly answer the question of what is artificial intelligence and then touch on the existing discussions in this field in detail. In particular, we will include discussions on the ethicality of artificial intelligence use under headings such as artificial intelligence and ethics, artificial intelligence ethics. After answering questions such as whether artificial intelligence is beneficial or harmful to human life, we will reach an inference as to whether artificial intelligence is a necessary technology. The term artificial intelligence was first used by American mathematician and computer scientist John McCarthy in 1956. Artificial intelligence can be defined as a technology that allows computers and machines to think and learn like humans. Artificial intelligence is a technology that uses machine learning, data analytics, word processing and similar technologies to do things that humans can and cannot do, and to do them much faster. Artificial intelligence usage areas are used in almost every area of our lives today. Use of Artificial Intelligence in Daily Life Although the connotation of artificial intelligence in our ears may seem negative, we use this technology in many areas of our daily lives, whether we are aware of it or not. Let's consider our content consumption habits; The fact that similar content we consume in the digital environment appears and is suggested to us is the work of artificial intelligence technology. It creates a profile for us about what we do during the time we spend on the internet and creates a portfolio about our habits according to our data. In addition, it provides us with a flow of content by making predictions about our next behaviors based on this data. In this way, we have the opportunity to reach content that may interest us more easily. At the same time, it also brings us relevant products for commercial searches you make on the internet. In this sense, artificial intelligence's ability to consume content and bring us relevant content about the queries we search for allows us to reach the result we want to reach faster. As a result of this situation, it is the opportunity to reach the relevant product we want to reach faster. Therefore, the use of artificial intelligence in daily life is valid for many things that we are aware of and not. The digital-based applications we use are examples of the use of artificial intelligence. We can also define all digital-based applications that make our lives easier as examples of artificial intelligence use. If we look at the benefits that artificial intelligence offers to human life in daily life from a broad perspective, many services are carried out with artificial intelligence support today. If we list the benefits that artificial intelligence provides to people on an individual level in detail; • Ease of transportation • Acceleration of access to information • Increased efficiency • Saving time • Instant communication If we list the opportunities that artificial intelligence provides to institutions; • Optimization of business processes: It saves time by accelerating business processes and increases efficiency. • Data analytics and decision making: Artificial intelligence analyzes data and accelerates decision-making processes. • Effective marketing and sales strategies for businesses: Artificial intelligence allows data analysis and the creation of more effective marketing and sales strategies for the target audience. • Improving customer service: You can keep customer satisfaction at the desired level by increasing the efficiency of customer service with artificial intelligence. • Risk management: Artificial intelligence increases the capacity of businesses to analyze and manage their risks, and allows strategies for the future of the business to be created. Artificial Intelligence and Ethics The fact that the use of artificial intelligence has spread into our lives has brought with it discussions. One of the important technological developments that has allowed the use of artificial intelligence to increase has been internet technology. With the widespread use of the internet, people spend most of their time in this area, while studies on artificial intelligence technologies are concentrated in this area. Some of the results of this situation are; global brands that provide services in the internet world are working to increase internet usage rates and make people spend more time in this area. In order for this to happen, psychological and sociological studies are conducted and discussions are made such as aiming for people to spend more time in the digital world. In this way, discussions such as the aim of using people more in order to achieve the transformations they target by getting more interaction have also created discussions such as people being enslaved with the use of artificial intelligence. The discussion of how ethical the use of artificial intelligence is also emerging within the scope. Artificial intelligence will give people more freedom and life
