With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) in the digital age, it is time to think deeply about how moral and ethical values can be integrated into machines and the potential impact this will have on human societies. However, as human beings, we must turn to our darker side and ask ourselves: Even if we encode our accepted ethical and moral values into systems, will we humans adhere to them, and do we even want to?

Every day, thousands of notifications, short videos, accelerated content... Could the technologies we invented to save time actually be stealing moments from us?

Studies show that modern humans touch their phones 2,617 times a day and their attention is interrupted every 7 minutes on average. In an experiment conducted at the University of Virginia, people couldn't tolerate thinking for more than 15 minutes and preferred to give themselves electric shocks. In this age of speed, could our own minds be starting to feel foreign to us?

In this section, we explore topics ranging from Hartmut Rosa's theory of social acceleration to Milan Kundera's novel Slowness, from Tarkovsky's aesthetics of slow-moving time to Zen philosophy. And we ask the question:

Does speed enrich life, or does it take away its depth?

Our memory flaws make us human. Our memories fade, diminish, and sometimes get rewritten.

But perhaps it is precisely these flaws that give meaning to our lives.

Will artificial intelligences that store our memories with crystal clarity in the future make us more ‘us’... or will they take away our luxury of forgetting, which transforms us into human beings?

From Bergson's view of memory as a creative process to Nietzsche's consideration of forgetting as a fundamental condition of life; drawing from Proust's memory windows opened by the Madeleine cake, in this section we ask:

Does flawless memory bring us an immortal freedom, or is it a heavy burden that chains our identity?

What would happen if a machine became 170,000 times smarter than humans in 90 minutes? Would it be more difficult to go to the kitchen and make coffee or to solve a physics problem?

How would we know when artificial intelligence has reached a level of intelligence equivalent to ours? Could artificial intelligence manipulate us humans? Could it deceive us?

In this section, we discuss what general intelligence is and why it could be both humanity's greatest hope and its greatest threat.

Our screens have never been so bright, but our souls have never felt so dark. Modern humans have thousands of “friends” on social media, but when they silence their phones at night, they fear being alone with themselves. We have so many connections, but how many people do we truly connect with?

In this section, we discuss the loneliness of the digital age, where connections have increased but bonds have weakened. We seek to understand the fake intimacy of filtered lives on social media, the invisible labyrinth of algorithms, and the growing shadow of modern loneliness, guided by the great thinkers from Sartre to Camus, from Dostoyevsky to Rumi.

Biotechnology and artificial intelligence are rapidly approaching a point where they could extend our lives to hundreds of years.

But as Schopenhauer said, if life is a pendulum swinging between the pain and suffering of not having something and the boredom of having it—what happens if this swing continues indefinitely?

Does immortality bring freedom, or the weight of endless loneliness?

In this section, we examine the dark cautions of philosophy—from Tolstoy to Kierkegaard, from Sartre to Rumi and Yunus—against the backdrop of science’s promises, striving to find our way.

Can an algorithm compose music like Bach? Or can a photograph look so “real” that it can fool a jury? In this section, we discuss the quiet invasion of artificial intelligence at the heart of art. The coldness of perfection, works where flaws are encoded, and a new era where reality and imitation blend together… Will there still be room for human creativity in the art galleries of the future, or will we be remembered only as the last viewers of art? Will works that contain human flaws be more desirable than flawless works of art in the future?

The future will continue as a battle and alliance between technology providing us with prosperity and high living standards, gifting us with time, our most precious treasure, and bringing us happiness, and the same technology that can take over our egos and drag us from a sea of pleasure into a river of unhappiness. Let's see which side wins this battle.

Artificial intelligence: Savior or threat?

In this section, we examine the social benefits of artificial intelligence, such as creating equal opportunities in health and education and eliminating traffic accidents, while also discussing its dark side, which includes mass unemployment, disruption of financial systems, and challenges to democracy.

Technology is transforming not only the world but also the human mind.

So is this major change an opportunity or an impending crisis?

How did artificial intelligence conquer the gaming world?

From the iconic moment when Deep Blue checkmated Kasparov in chess to AlphaGo rewriting the rules on the Go board...

In this section, we explore how artificial intelligence has evolved through games, how it has gained the ability to strategize, intuit, and cope with uncertainty, and how these achievements have contributed to the business world and everyday life.
