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

Autonomous cars, which have data and artificial intelligence that interprets the data on our behalf, Robots that can communicate with us, in short, master a technology that is beyond our cognitive capabilities and intelligence, make the future exciting.

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

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

The United States of America, It remains the pioneer in artificial intelligence investing, investing nearly $249 billion in a total of 4,643 companies since 2013. China follows the US with $95 billion. England is in third place with $18 billion. Among the investments made healthcare, data management, fintech, cybersecurity and data security There are categories like.

Türkiye is not included in the list of the investments in artificial intelligence made by the countries of the world.

As you may recall, 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 was intended for 2025. Artificial intelligence strategy document I want to emphasize that it is very important, but what exactly has been done or done in 2025? which goals have been achieved I believe that institutions should jointly explain this to the public.

In addition to the breakthroughs in artificial intelligence in the countries of the world, while continuing my research for Turkey, I met with the Artificial Intelligence Policies Association (AIPA), which was founded in Turkey and had a say on this issue has in Europe, and currently has 230 members. .

Association chairman Zafer Küçükşabanoğlu Having the opportunity to meet gave me a better understanding of Turkey’s position in the field of artificial intelligence. 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: “Turkey has a significant potential of 27 million young people between the ages of 0 and 21. First, we need to explain artificial intelligence to everyone. In our reports we see the interest of 27 million young people between 0 and 21 years old in artificial intelligence.

We must convert this interest into knowledge. Artificial intelligence means power. There are 208 universities in Turkey. Only six of them have an artificial intelligence department. As in every field, our priority in artificial intelligence must be education and mobilization in this area must begin.

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

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

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