The event featured various presentations aimed at enhancing conceptual clarity and re-evaluating intellectual frameworks.The workshop began with an opening speech by Turgay Aldemir, President of the Bülbülzade Foundation. Aldemir, who shared his reflections on concepts, emphasized that the human mind thinks through concepts, yet a sound mind does not reduce truth solely to concepts, stating, “Truth is greater than the concepts and meanings that describe it.”The first session continued with a presentation titled “Rethinking Our Concept Sets” by Ali Özcan, President of the Refar Institute. Özcan addressed the background of concepts and the re-evaluation of established thought sets.Ebuzer Nas, the coordinator of the Concept Workshop, detailed the intellectual framework of the workshop in his presentation titled “The Purpose and Objectives of the Workshop.” Following his talk, Cumali Kaplan, the Secondary Education Commission coordinator, held a two-question “open discussion” on the workshop’s areas of study.The workshop continued with Ahmet Taşkesen’s presentation titled “Evaluation of Existing Contexts.” After the presentation, focus groups were formed and group discussions were conducted.The third presentation of the workshop was delivered by Şehadet Gerçek under the title “Defining New Conceptual Contexts.” Highlighting the importance of concept sets, Gerçek stated, “The time has come to produce our own concepts and contexts with a strong, confident, and self-assured psychology.” After the presentation, participants engaged in a “brainstorming” session on concept analysis, laying the groundwork for the emergence of new ideas.Following the analyses, the workshop proceeded with the sessions titled “Concepts and Contexts to Be Avoided” and “Risk Analysis,” where the possible impacts of the conceptual choices were discussed.

Abdurrahman Bulut, Project Coordinator at Microsoft Saudi Arabia, held a session titled “Dataism, Artificial Intelligence Technologies and Their Ontological Background,” focusing on philosophical and technological discussions. During the session organized at the Bülbülzade Foundation, important evaluations were made regarding the philosophical background of artificial intelligence.Evaluating how the rapidly developing algorithmic structures of artificial intelligence construct a new technological worldview called dataism and how this affects the understanding of existence, Abdurrahman Bulut said, “The philosophy of artificial intelligence should be assessed within this scope. With artificial intelligence, most of our perspectives on life have changed. However, we must remember that artificial intelligence can produce information only as much as the data it is fed.” Emphasizing that artificial intelligence is not an ordinary software program, Bulut stated that General Artificial Intelligence, considered the second stage of AI, is at the doorstep.“ARTIFICIAL SUPERINTELLIGENCE WILL BE THE LAST TECHNOLOGY HUMANITY WILL EVER INVENT.”Pointing out that artificial intelligence offers an analytical structure capable of processing as much information as if it were merged with the brains of all humans on earth, Abdurrahman Bulut said: “Of course, we say that this is not real human intelligence, but a simulation of it. Yet for the sake of convenience, let’s continue to call it ‘intelligence.’ This is exactly where our concerns about the future begin. There are serious worries about what artificial superintelligence may be capable of and whether it can be controlled. Our main concern is the emergence of a truly super intelligence. Some even argue that artificial superintelligence may be the last technology humanity will ever invent. The second area of concern is timing. There is no definite date regarding this. The answers to the question ‘When will we reach general artificial intelligence?’ vary greatly. Some say between 2026–2030, others say 2027, 2030, 2035, or 2040. There is also a small number who say ‘never.’ In conferences, I usually share the estimate of 2035.”
