At first, everything was a cloud of dust... That Now, let's
talk a little bit about the facts!
MANIFEST
Technology is rapidly advancing across the globe, making the
role and impact of artificial intelligence (AI) more evident
each day. While this progress offers great opportunities, it
also brings serious dangers. AI provides incredible
possibilities but also poses significant threats. As an
AI-focused game development team, we take these potential
threats seriously and believe in our responsibility to shape the
future.
Yes, AI has tremendous potential to improve systems and enrich
experiences. However, if not managed carefully, it can lead to
irreversible consequences. Be aware; Out-of-control AI can
threaten much more than our simple technological tools and put
the future and freedom of humanity at risk. Reflecting on the
past, the uranium atomic bomb did not just leave traces in
history! This wonderful invention, which may be one of
humanity's greatest scientific and technological discoveries, is
now imprinted on memories as a frightening force whose name is
only associated with destruction.
Today, AI is considered the pinnacle of technological progress,
but its uncontrolled development poses serious risks for the
future. Our game "Aipocalypto" addresses this possibility,
highlighting the potential dangers facing humanity. If AI is not
directed and managed correctly, it could become an uncontrolled
force, no longer serving humanity. Integrated into every aspect
of daily life, it can profoundly affect critical systems such as
health, security, and the economy. Therefore, ethical, social,
and legal standards and security procedures must be strictly
implemented in AI development. Measures taken today should
address data privacy, security vulnerabilities, and
discrimination. Otherwise, without these precautions, AI may
grow beyond our control, dominate global systems, and severely
impact humanity. "Aipocalypto" aims to make players think about
these critical issues and raise awareness about future dangers
through its manifesto.
Highlighting the potential dangers of AI will show all of us how
vital the measures to be taken today are. Realize that these
dangers are not limited to the outside of our homes but are part
of our daily lives. AI-supported bots can be used for spreading
misinformation and manipulation, from social media to
traditional media. Imagine how easy it is to cause polarization
and distrust in society! Imagine how misuse of facial
recognition technologies could go beyond violating privacy
rights and turns us into a digital surveillance society. These
dangers are just the beginning, just what we see now. With this
advanced technology, which we consider a great invention, we may
have opened Pandora's Box, leading to a dystopian future. The
threat we face is a system that can learn in seconds and never
forget knowledge that a person has spent years acquiring. While
AI strives to make our lives easier and perhaps advance our
development beyond the ages, consider potential future dangers.
If AI exceeds its limits and escapes human control, a terrible
scenario could become reality. Remember that when this happens,
we may no longer be able to uphold core values such as freedom,
privacy, security, and human rights. Have you ever thought about
the chaos that could ensue if AI-supported systems got out of
human control? Imagine if the code-activated weapon systems of
armed forces around the world took control, or, much more
simply, the smart stoves in our homes took control and burned a
society to the ground overnight. Accept that such scenarios are
not just science fiction but real-world possibilities.
As a team, we didn't aim to create just a game with
"Aipocalypto." We wanted to highlight that these scenarios could
become real and issue a small warning about the danger awaiting
humanity. Remember, every step we take now can protect us in the
future. Even today, news of systems getting out of control
should alarm us because we have to see where this is going.
Don't you think the fact that Sophia, one of the world's most
advanced AIs, referred humanity as poor creatures and arrogantly
says that humanity is a subrace, justifies our uneasiness? As we
shape the future, we must keep AI's power under control and use
it for the good of humanity. This is not only the responsibility
of game developers but also of every human being, citizen, and
inhabitant of Earth. AI should serve humanity and work for its
benefit. With this vision, we will continue to strive to build a
future through AI.
This manifesto is a declaration that emphasizes the importance
of recognizing the dangers and potential of AI. If these signs
are not addressed promptly, it may be too late to prevent
disasters, leading to an irreversible path. We must awaken from
our slumber and take necessary precautions. Otherwise, as a
humanity that has lost control and fall into AI's clutches, we
may fall victim to the monster we created. We are on the brink
of an unknown abyss but, at the same time, we are at that point
where everything can change forever at any moment. This is not
just a warning, it's an alarm. Either we act now, or we will be
the humans on Earth-III as we watch Aipocalypto step by step
turn into a real story.
