Aslı Sara Bilgili

Student at Eyüboğlu High School

I must say I love reading and writing. When I was 10, I published a book called Tomato Diary which included little funny stories. Recently, I have been writing mostly poems. It is a way for me to express myself but not for the sake of other people to understand but for the sake of me to define what I am. I have been a MUN delegate for two years and currently I am the second vice president of the club. I love biology because it tells us where we originated from or at least looks for it with pure science and logic. I take online classes on biological topics. I have a special interest in quantum physics and I like analyzing physical equations. I like long walks, coffee, Italian food and reading about philosophy, religion, psychology and economics. Schopenhauer is my mentor because of his world view and thoughts on willpower. My favourite book is Damien because I like the process in the book as Emile Sinclair realizes he is different from other people for some reason and doesn't have an appetite for earthly pleasures. I strongly defend the rights of different sexual orientations and different ethnicities as equality is their most basic right; I'm not saying that to look cool; it reflects my world view. I am open to diversity as I am a part of diversity. I am a humanist, environmentalist, feminist, equalitarian and nihilist.

AI: The Future Is Now

My talk is basically about how Turing's Enigma machine changed 20th century and evolved into the principles of AI. Today, because of this initial understanding, we can test if other computers are eligible to be considered as an AI and we can produce machines which analyze datas and games. We can make little copies of a brain. When Turing was alive, there were many economic and man-made obstacles. Today, people fear what they do not understand. Even if we cannot understand the whole picture and even if some designs seem utopic, they are not impossible.
