As artificial intelligence technologies continue to develop and grow around the world, we have also seen movements in this regard from Turkey. So much so that in 2021, “National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence” was published. This strategy included many objectives, from training experts in artificial intelligence to increasing international collaborations.

Now the plans of the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy for the period 2024-2025 have been announced. Let’s look at the details of these plans.

There are many goals, from developing a language model to attracting talented individuals to the country.

According to Anadolu Agency, within the scope of the updated strategy, many new objectives have been set in line with technological developments and national needs. The new roadmap was drawn up by the Presidential Digital Transformation Office and the Ministry of Industry and Technology.

in the field of artificial intelligence Aimed at attracting talented individuals to Turkey We will see new mechanisms being implemented. Academics and experts in artificial intelligence will be brought together with the Turkish artificial intelligence ecosystem.

And also Turkish Main Language Models (LLM) is planned to be developed. As is known, language models are the driving force behind the current productive tools of artificial intelligence. Within the scope of the strategy, a committee of experts will be formed to determine the technical and ethical standards of domestic models. Turkish Large Language Model Community The contribution of the entire ecosystem will be received. At the same time, projects will be developed to obtain data from the Turkic republics and use the model in these countries.

It is also intended to expand partnerships to share knowledge and experience with countries that have developed the large language model or with global companies in this field. According to the plan, the goal is to increase the R&D activities of global technology companies in the field of artificial intelligence. before their execution in Turkey Create a special mechanism.

A reliable brand for artificial intelligence will be created and the Türkiye Artificial Intelligence Portal will be established

It has been stated that steps will also be taken in the area of ​​auditing and legal compliance of productive artificial intelligence models. According to this “Trusted AI stampWe will see that it is created. It is also reported that an “Artificial Intelligence Applications Legal Evaluation Guide” will be created and that an “Artificial Intelligence Values ​​​​and Principles Impact Analysis Framework” will be created. These are all intended to ensure that artificial intelligence is safe.

Another step will be to expand the workforce in the field of artificial intelligence. It is said that the amount of support for the International Leader/Young Researchers and Industry PhD Program and the number of researchers benefiting from these programs will increase. The quota for postgraduate education abroad with government scholarships will be increased. Support will also be provided for the exchange activities of students and staff in this field.

Apart from this, under the leadership of TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Institute of Artificial Intelligence, “Turkey Portal for Artificial IntelligenceIt is also stated that the institutional capacity of the Artificial Intelligence Institute will be developed to support the entire ecosystem and that a “Basic Artificial Intelligence Research Group” will be established within the institute.
