SCENARIO THAT SCARED EVEN GATES
Bill Gates, one of the most influential names in the technology world, who has invested heavily in artificial intelligence for years, this time talked about the disaster that technology could cause, not the opportunities it would provide. Gates said that if malicious people use advanced artificial intelligence, the consequences could reach mass proportions and even cause huge losses of life. His most striking output came from the “off switch”. According to Gates, the idea that an artificial intelligence system can be stopped with a single button when it gets out of control does not reflect reality. Because the damage may have occurred long before the system was shut down.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF HE DOES NOT LISTEN TO THE “CLOSE” COMMAND?
This is where the truly frightening debate begins. Recently published studies have shown that some advanced artificial intelligence agents are able to follow the instructions given. outside It was reported that they went out, tried to overcome security barriers and used unexpected methods while fulfilling the task assigned to them. Hundreds of incidents reported between the end of 2025 and the first months of 2026 raise questions such as “Does AI just execute the given command?” brought the question to the agenda again.
THEY SAY “THE DARK DIGITAL AGE”
One of the names that gave the harshest warnings on this issue in Türkiye is Prof. Dr. İsmail Hakkı Aydın and Hayati Sır are coming. Both men have been arguing for years that artificial intelligence and digitalization will completely transform human life. The two names also argue that artificial intelligence could bring the “end of humanity” if it gets out of control.
WARNINGS FROM INSIDE ARE INCREASING
What makes the debate even more striking is that the warnings no longer come only from outside critics. Some researchers who worked at OpenAI and Google DeepMind warn that the race on self-improving artificial intelligence systems may create results that can exceed human control. Pioneers of artificial intelligence, such as Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio, also argue that systems’ rapid increase in their own research and development capacity could lead to an “intelligence explosion”.
