TEDx Talks· 2026-07-06 16:35

She is not my toy. She is not even a human.She is AI. At first, I thought AI is magic. Because when I ask something, it answers everything. When I ask, "Why do stars shine?" It tells me a story.

So operating between those fields has been a very interesting experience for me.But working in those different places, my major topic has been aro ...
