At What Stage Is Türkiye in the World in Artificial Intelligence Technologies?

Many aspects of the society we live in Artificial intelligence technologies that have the potential to radically transform It’s improving every day. If we leave aside for now the birth of artificial intelligence and its progress so far, which may be the subject of other content, it is exciting to experience artificial intelligence technologies.

Autonomous cars, having data and artificial intelligence interpreting the data on our behalf, Robots that can interact with us, in short, mastering a technology that exceeds our cognitive abilities and intelligence, makes the future exciting.

But where exactly are the countries of the world and Türkiye in this potential?

According to a report made As expected, the USA, China and the UK are in the top three in the artificial intelligence race. in the list of artificial intelligence investments, which also includes India and Singapore. Unfortunately, Türkiye was not among the top 10 countries.

United States of America, It continues to be the pioneer of artificial intelligence investments by investing almost 249 billion dollars in a total of 4,643 companies since 2013. China follows the USA with 95 billion dollars. England ranks 3rd with 18 billion dollars. Among the investments made healthcare, data management, fintech, cybersecurity and data security There are categories such as.

Türkiye is not included in the list indicating the artificial intelligence investments made by the world’s countries.

As you may remember, it was created at the initiative of the Ministry of Industry and Technology and the Presidential Digital Transformation Office, which was released in Turkey in 2021 and targeted for 2025. artificial intelligence strategy document I would like to emphasize that it is very important, but what exactly has been done or done by 2025? what goals have been achieved I believe that institutions should collectively explain this to the public.

Aside from the artificial intelligence breakthroughs of the world’s countries, while continuing my research for Turkey, I met with the Artificial Intelligence Policies Association (AIPA), which was established in Turkey on this issue and has a say in Europe, and currently has 230 members.

Association President Zafer Küçükşabanoğlu By having the chance to meet with I gained a better understanding of Turkey’s artificial intelligence position. During our meeting, Küçükşabanoğlu underlined that Turkey should no longer look at artificial intelligence in a tabloid way and emphasized that our country should take “action” in the field of artificial intelligence as soon as possible.

Küçükşabanoğlu explained the following: “Turkey has a significant potential of 27 million young people between the ages of 0-21. First, we need to explain artificial intelligence to everyone. We observe in our reports the interest of 27 million young people between the ages of 0-21 in artificial intelligence.

We need to turn this interest into knowledge. Artificial intelligence means power. There are 208 universities in Turkey. Only 6 of them have an artificial intelligence engineering department. As in every field, our priority in the field of artificial intelligence should be education and mobilization should be initiated in this field.

A target was set for our artificial intelligence strategy until 2025. Time passed quickly. The relevant document needs to be updated and it needs to be created for 10 years.

Everyone needs to be interested in artificial intelligence. In this regard, we have a proposal to open an artificial intelligence university in Turkey. We want it to be postgraduate. Let it be integrated into Turkey’s leading areas such as health and agriculture. We must direct the attention of our youth to knowledge. “If we can do this all together, we will be in the top 10 in the world rankings.”

We discussed Turkey’s place in the world in artificial intelligence with Mr. Zafer Küçükşabanoğlu. As Webtekno, we will continue to frequently emphasize the importance of artificial intelligence. So what are your opinions on this subject?
