Yapay zeka, hem söylem hem de eylem olarak gündelik hayatımızın bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Teknolojik gelişmeler, küresel ekonominin iyileşmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Yoksulluk, bu gelişmeler kapsamında, en azından çok temel ihtiyaçların karşılanması noktasında oransal olarak azalmış olsa da, dünyanın en kronik ve önemli sorunlarından biri olmaya devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, yoksullukla mücadelede yapay zekanın rolü ele alınmaktadır. Bu bağlamda mikrofinans, tarım, sağlık ve eğitim gibi çeşitli alanlarda yapay zekanın yoksullukla mücadelede oynadığı roller detaylı bir şekilde incelenmektedir. Yapay zekanın bu alanda önemli işlevler gördüğü ve göreceği vurgulanmakla birlikte, bu katkının veya rolün kaçınılmaz ve zorunlu olmayabileceği; siyasi faktörler ve evrenimizin biyofiziksel sınırları gibi şartların da kritik bir rol oynadığına dikkat çekilmektedir.

Can AI Finish Poverty? The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Poverty Alleviation

Öz

Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our daily lives, both in discourse and action. Technological developments play a significant role in the recovery of the global economy. Although poverty has decreased proportionally in terms of meeting basic needs due to these advancements, it remains one of the most chronic and significant issues in the world. This study examines the role of artificial intelligence in the fight against poverty. It explores the various roles artificial intelligence plays in microfinance, agriculture, health, and education. While the study emphasizes that artificial intelligence has important functions in this area, it also notes that its contribution may not be inevitable or mandatory; factors such as political conditions and biophysical limits of our planet also play a critical role.
