Theme: Değişen İnsan, Değişen Bilim /Changing Human, Changing Science

Bugün, yakın geçmişte bize hayal gibi gelen bir teknolojinin kullanıcılarıyız. Zaman içerisinde teknoloji ve bilimde kazandığımız bu ivme ile birlikte alışkanlıklarımızın da aynı hızla bu değişime ayak uydurduğunu söyleyebiliriz. Kullanım alanlarımıza göre farklı şekilde ilerleyen teknoloji; sağlık, eğitim, günlük yaşam pratikleri, sanat gibi birçok alanda kendisine yer bulmaktadır. Bu alanların en önemlilerinden biri olan sağlık alanında, yapay zekâ ve kişiye özel tıp uygulamaları sıklıkla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Özellikle Alzheimer gibi yaşlanmaya bağlı görülen nörodejeneretif hastalıkların tedavisinde bu yaklaşımlar; günlük hayatı sürdürmek için gerekli olan temel bilişsel ve davranışsal fonksiyonların artırılması ve günlük yaşamın daha konforlu hale getirilmesi açısından önemlidir. Tedavi kadar hassas olunması gereken tanı aşamasında da erken ve doğru teşhisi koyabilme şansını artıran yeni cihazlar ve tıbbi görüntüleme teknikleri yine teknolojinin en değerli getirileri konumundadır. Artık sahip olduğumuz zenginlikler robotik cerrahiyle önemli ameliyatları yapabilmek veya uzuv kaybı yaşamış kişilere yeniden uzuv geliştirmek gibi uç noktalara kadar taşınmış durumda ve taşınmaya da devam etmektedir.

Hepimizin ortak noktası olan günlük yaşam içerisinde ise teknoloji; akıllı telefonlar, cebimize sığacak kadar küçülmüş bilgisayarlar, kısacası günün her saatinde ve her yerde kullanabileceğimiz aygıtlar şeklinde gelişim gösterdi. Bu da insana her anını, gerçek yaşamdan biraz koparak farklı bir dünya olan sanal alemde yaşama imkânı verdi. Sanal alem denilen şeyse insana hem bir şeyler kazandıran hem de bir şeyler kaybettiren bir kavram olarak bünyesindeki bu zıtlıklarla varlığını sürdürmektedir. Bir tıkla dünyanın öbür ucundaki kişilere ulaşabilirken, aynı zamanda bir tıkla mahremiyetimizden bazı konularda feragat edebiliyoruz. Başkalarıyla ciddi bir etkileşimde olduğumuz bu alemde gördüklerimiz gibi olmak ve onlar gibi yaşamaya yönelik birtakım uğraşlara girer hale geldik. Önemsediğimiz şeyleri birçok noktada bu sanal dünyaya göre şekillendirmek gibi birtakım çabalarımızın oluşunu ve buna bağlı olarak da değerlerimizi yeniden yaratıyor oluşumuzu göz önünde bulundurursak beğenilme kaygısı taşımak veya sosyal olma algımızı sahip olduğumuz cihazlardaki uygulama sayısına indirgemek gibi eğilimlerimizin olması şaşırtıcı gelmemektedir. Yeni akıllı aygıtlar sayesinde muhteşem bir hıza ulaşan insanoğlu, bilgi edinme konusunda da korkutucu bir hıza sahip oldu. Korkutucu olmasının nedeni ise ulaştığımız yanlış bilgilerin çok fazla olmasıdır. Yaşadığı her şeyi bilmek, anlamlandırmak isteyen insan için de internet artık başucu kaynağı olmuşken, ulaşılan yanlış bilgilerin bu noktada ne kadar yanıltıcı olduğunu görebiliriz. Bilginin fazla olması insanın ufkunu genişletirken, dijital olması da bilgiyi kolayca kontrol edilebilir ve çarpıtılabilir hale getirmektedir. Bilgi teknolojisinin ulaştığı boyutta insana düşen sorumluluk makinaların ve robotların yapamadığını yaparak bilgiyi ilerleme amaçlı kullanmaktır. Bu yeteneğe de yaratıcılık diyoruz ve yaratıcılığı yapay zekâ ve robotların gerçekleştiremediği bir bilişsel işlev olarak değerlendirebiliriz. Bu nedenle bu yüzyılın gözde yeteneği yaratıcılık olmalı ve insanlar yaratıcılığı ortaya çıkarmak için eğitilmelidir.

İşte teknoloji insanın hayatında bu kadar önemli ve etkileyici bir konumdayken; teknolojinin insanın iyi oluşunu da etkilediğini söylemek doğal bir çıkarımdır. Teknolojinin geldiği korkutucu büyüklük insanı bilgi kirliliği altında kaybolmaya iterken bu kirlilikten en az zararla çıkmanın yolu iyi oluş ve kişisel mutluluğu artırma olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. İnsan kendini tanıyarak, içsel dünyasını anlayarak iyi ve mutlu olabileceği durumları keşfedip rotasını çizebilir. 20. Yüzyılın en gözde meslekleri bilgi teknolojileriyken 21. Yüzyılda kişiler arası ilişki gerektiren meslekler de öne çıkmaya başlamıştır. Bunun en önemli nedeni insanın iyi oluş, sosyal uyarım ve mutluluk arayışıdır. Bu TEDxUskudarUnievrsity etkinliğinde değişen insan, değişen bilim sloganıyla insanın ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda bilimi nasıl dönüştürdüğünü ve bilimsel keşiflerin sonrasında insanı nasıl değiştirdiğini incelemeye devam edeceğiz.

Today, we are the users of a technology that has come to us as a dream in the recent past. With this momentum we gained in technology and science, we can say that our habits are adapting to this change with the same speed. Technology advancing differently depending on our areas of use; such as health, education, daily life practices, art get a place in many areas. One of the most important of these areas, in the field of health, artificial intelligence and special medicine applications are frequently encountered. These approaches, especially in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's; it is important to increase the basic cognitive and behavioral functions necessary to sustain daily life and to make daily life more comfortable. New devices and medical imaging techniques, which increase the chance of early and accurate diagnosis at the diagnosis stage which should be as sensitive as the treatment, are also the most valuable returns of the technology. We now have the wealth that has moved up to the extremes such as to carry out important operations with robotic surgery or to re-develop limbs for people who have experienced loss of limbs and this wealth continues to move.
The technology that we all have in common in everyday life has evolved into smartphones, computers that are small enough to fit in our pockets, and devices that we can use anywhere and anytime. This gives an opportunity to people in such a manner to break away from real life to live inthe virtual world. The so-called cyber world continues to exist with these contradictions within it as a concept that both bring something and loses something to human. While you can reach people on the other side of the world with a click, we can also waive some issues from our privacy in one click. In this realm we have a serious interaction with others, we have become a part of our efforts to be like what we have seen and to live like them. Considering that we have a number of efforts to shape things that we care about according to this virtual world at many points, and accordingly we are re-creating our values, it is not surprising that we have a tendency to carry a concern of appreciation or reduce our sense of socialization to the number of applications in the devices we have. With the new smart devices reaching a great speed, mankind has a frightening speed to learn. The reason why it is frightening is that there are too many misinformation that we reach. While the internet is the bedside source for every people who wants to know and give a meaning to everything lived in, we can see how misinformation is misleading at this point. While have more information broaden one's horizon, the fact that it is digital makes it easy to control and distort. The responsibility for human beings at the level of information technology reaches is to use information for progress by doing what machines and robots can not do. We call this ability creativity, and we can consider creativity as a cognitive function that artificial intelligence and robots can't accomplish. Therefore, this century's favorite talent should be creativity and people should be trained to reveal creativity.
