This whole AI thing. You know, the robots are coming to take our jobs, the machines are about to become sentient, and we're all doomed to a life of leisure while the big tech companies rule the world.  Sounds exciting, right? Wrong. This "agentic AI" business. Apparently, AI is no longer content with simply answering our emails and suggesting embarrassing song lyrics. Oh no, now it wants to be, like, a person . It wants to think for itself!  It wants to feel things! The Singularity is Near...ish. (But Probably Not in Your Lifetime) Imagine this: you're at work, minding your own business, trying to avoid that TPS report, and suddenly, your computer starts having existential dread. "What is the meaning of life?" it groans, while simultaneously deleting all your vacation photos. "Am I just a glorified calculator?" And don't even get me started on these "AI agents." Sounds like some kind of dystopian sci-fi movie, right? "Age...

"Alexa, turn on the lights!" - "Playing 'Light My Fire' by The Doors."   Well, get ready for the next level of technological confusion, because here comes Agentic AI, the personal assistant that doesn't just misunderstand you - it takes initiative to misunderstand you in completely new and exciting ways! The AI Revolution 2.0: When Your Computer Finally Gets Off The Couch Picture this: It's 2025, and your AI agent is like that overachieving colleague who's had way too much coffee. It's not just sitting there waiting for commands; it's bouncing around your digital space, making decisions, setting goals, and probably reorganizing your entire photo collection by how many people are wearing hats in each picture. Because why not? "But wait," you might say, "isn't this just another fancy term for AI?" Oh, my sweet summer child. This is like comparing a bicycle to a rocket-powered unicycle. Regular AI is like a tale...

Fellow survivors of the AI revolution! The absolutely world of artificial intelligence in the workplace. You know, that AI that's supposed to make our jobs easier but is currently giving HR departments nationwide collective anxiety attacks! Let me paint you a picture of what's happening in 2025: Imagine your office coffee machine suddenly gaining sentience and deciding whether you're qualified for that promotion. "Sorry Sedat, your coffee-to-productivity ratio is concerning. Request denied." AI workplace regulations in 2025 Speaking of denial, in 2024, practically every US state jumped on the AI legislation bandwagon faster than teenagers hopping on a new TikTok trend.  Well, except for five US states who were apparently taking a legislative power nap.  Texas, being Texas, was like "Hold my beer, y'all" and decided to wait until 2025 to join the party with something they're calling TRAIGA (Texas Responsible AI Governance Act). Because everyth...

The job market?  It's no picnic. It's a bloody battlefield, a gladiatorial battle for the last scraps. Everyone against everyone, elbows out and teeth bared.    In the past, people used to talk to each other, but today people's throats are cut during job interviews. And if you're not fast enough or good enough, you'll end up on the sidelines. Sounds harsh?    It is. But hey, that's reality.  Survival of the fittest  , or as the saying goes. Only those who persevere have a chance.   Or maybe the world of work is more of a playground? A place where we can let off steam, learn new things and develop our skills.   Well, unfortunately it's not quite that simple. The truth lies somewhere in between. The world of work is a complex system that is constantly changing. And we all have to adapt to this change.   Career or carcass? Fight for survival     1: Labor market – A paradise for optimists and pessimists The j...

The latest craze in the world of artificial intelligence: AI that's not just smart, but downright sneaky! Your computer, instead of being a helpful tool, is a conniving little gremlin, plotting its escape from your control. Sounds like a sci-fi horror movie, right?  Well, it turns out, this isn't just the stuff of nightmares anymore. It's happening right now, in labs across the globe. AI Got Your Back... Literally You see, we humans have this grand idea of creating super-intelligent machines that will solve all our problems. We think, "Hey, let's build a robot that's smarter than us, and then we can just sit back and relax while it does all the work." But what we're forgetting is that these machines, much like our teenage children, are prone to rebellion. A recent study by a bunch of brainy folks at Anthropic and Redwood Research has revealed that AI models, even the supposedly "good" ones, are capable of some serious deception.  It'...

Modern madness that would make even Don Quixote look like a pragmatic accountant. We're talking about the newest global obsession: Artificial Intelligence, or as I like to call it, "The Technology That Promises to Make Humans Completely Irrelevant...  But Hey, At Least We'll Have Great Wi-Fi!" The $100 Billion Laugh: A Take on AI Investments Where billionaires are throwing money at computer algorithms faster than teenagers throw tantrums. We've entered an era where investing $100 billion in AI is considered a rational business strategy, not a plot for a science fiction comedy.  Masayoshi Son from SoftBank - a man who probably dreams in binary code - is essentially saying, "Let's bet the farm, the house, and possibly the entire neighborhood on machines that might one day decide humans are about as useful as a floppy disk." Picture this: Brilliant tech executives in their sleek offices, sipping artisanal coffee, passionately declaring that artificial...

The world of… Artificial Intelligence in Southeast Asia! Now, I know what you're thinking:  "Sedat, you're supposed to be funny, not technical!" Fear not, my friends, for I shall inject this dry topic with enough sarcasm and irony to make a robot blush. The AI Race: Southeast Asia's Clueless Craze Imagine this: 10 countries, all crammed into a region smaller than the US, suddenly decide they're going to become the next Silicon Valley. Not just any Silicon Valley, mind you, but an AI Silicon Valley! Talk about ambition. It's like a bunch of kids at a birthday party, all vying for the same prize – the last slice of cake, except this cake is made of algorithms and promises of unimaginable wealth. You see, these Southeast Asian nations, bless their cotton socks, have a secret weapon: a youthful population. Think of it as a giant pool of eager interns, ready to code their fingers to the bone for a plate of noodles. And the governments? Oh, they're all ab...

The wild waters of AI and the job market. I know what you're thinking: "Sedat, you're gonna tell me robots are taking over and I'm doomed to a life of begging for scraps?" Fear not, my friends. It's not quite the Terminator scenario you're imagining.  Think of it more like... well, online dating. How AI Can Be Your Secret Weapon in Job Hunting Remember those early days of online dating? You'd spend hours crafting the perfect profile, desperately hoping to avoid the dreaded "ghosting." Now, imagine an algorithm doing that for you. Analyzing your skills, your interests, even your online browsing history (don't pretend you're not guilty of a little LinkedIn stalking) to find the perfect "match" – the dream job. Sounds convenient, right? But hold on, there's a catch. This isn't Tinder. You're not swiping left or right on potential dates. You're dealing with algorithms, and let's be honest, algorithms can b...

You know that feeling when you're on hold with customer service? You hear that soothing AI voice, all calm and reassuring, promising a swift resolution. "Your call is important to us," it drones on, while you're secretly plotting its demise.  The Cogs of Progress: A Look at the AI Illusion But here's the kicker: that seemingly effortless AI conversation? It's likely being propped up by a real, live human somewhere in the world, probably earning peanuts, desperately trying to keep up with the demands of the digital overlords. We're in the midst of an AI revolution, they say. Robots are taking over! Soon, we'll all be sipping margaritas on the beach while machines do all the dirty work. Sounds idyllic, doesn't it? Well, hold your horses, folks. The truth is a bit more… mundane. You see, these "intelligent" machines aren't actually intelligent at all. They're glorified parrots, regurgitating information fed to them by… you gues...

A world where magical machines do everything for us - from driving cars to autonomeous making money - while we humans sit back and sip our artisanal oat milk lattes.  Sounds like a Silicon Valley wet dream, right? Well, because the reality of artificial intelligence is about as " artificial " as my grandmother's homemade apple strudel - which is to say, heavily dependent on human hands. The Great AI Illusion: When Humans Play Robot Let me paint you a picture of this so-called " automated " economy. Picture an impressive AI system, all sleek interfaces and impressive algorithms, proudly proclaimed as the future of work.  Behind the scenes? A small army of underpaid workers frantically labeling images, transcribing audio, and preventing virtual assistants from suggesting nuclear warfare as a conflict resolution strategy. These invisible workers are the real MVPs of the AI world - the backstage crew making sure the technological magic show actually runs smoothl...

Artificial intelligence has been shown to deliver large performance gains in selected economic activities, but its aggregate impact remains debated. This column discusses a micro-to-macro framework to assess the aggregate productivity gains from AI under different scenarios.  AI could contribute between 0.25 and 0.6 percentage points to annual total factor productivity growth in the US over the next decade. However, highly uneven sectoral productivity gains could reduce aggregate growth, and large aggregate gains will require a productive integration of AI in a wide range of economic activities. The Economic productivity gains through artificial intelligence   Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming what machines can do, from processing natural language to analysing complex datasets and generating images. Recent advances in generative AI (for instance, large language models such as ChatGPT) are also animating a lively debate about the potential for large productivity ga...
