The Action Plan of the National Strategy for Artificial Intelligence for 2024-2025 has been updated in line with technological developments and national needs.
The document, prepared by the Presidential Digital Transformation Office and the Ministry of Industry and Technology in line with the 11th Development Plan and the Presidential Annual Program 2021, serves as a roadmap for Turkey's work in the field of artificial intelligence until 2025.
As part of the measures, mechanisms will be implemented to attract talented individuals in the field of artificial intelligence to Turkey through the “TechVisa program”. Academics and experts working in the field of artificial intelligence in the Turkish diaspora will also be brought together with the Turkish artificial intelligence ecosystem.
A large Turkish language model is being developed
A panel of experts will be established to define the technical and ethical standards for productive artificial intelligence models (LLM, LAM) to be developed locally.
The Turkish Main Language Model will be developed and the Turkish Main Language Model Community will be established to receive the contribution of the entire ecosystem. In the development of these models, cooperation mechanisms will be developed to obtain data from the Turkic Republics and to deploy the model in these countries.
Collaborations on knowledge and experience exchange with countries developing their own large language models or with global companies in this field will also be strengthened. A special mechanism will be established for global technology companies to carry out their research and development activities in the field of artificial intelligence in Turkey.
“Trusted Artificial Intelligence Stamp” is created
In order to develop productive artificial intelligence models, a needs analysis will be carried out and capacities for the processor infrastructure will be developed, which will make Turkey a global player in this field.
“Trusted Artificial Intelligence Stamp” is issued in accordance with the certification mechanism for the testing and legal compliance of artificial intelligence applications.
A “Guide to the legal assessment of applications of artificial intelligence” will be created. A “Framework for the impact analysis of values and principles of artificial intelligence” will be created. The necessary tools will be developed to manage reliable artificial intelligence.
Necessary policy and legislative development studies will be carried out in order to carry out one-stop work within the scope of detecting, preventing and reducing the impact of new generation cyber threats, especially those enhanced by artificial intelligence, targeting Turkey's assets in cyberspace.
A guide will be prepared to clarify the intellectual property rights of content created by artificial intelligence, and standardization studies will be conducted on the patentability of artificial intelligence products.
National regulations will be adopted in accordance with international standards governing the development and use of artificial intelligence systems and the market introduction of artificial intelligence systems.
A project management guide for Enterprise Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics is being created.
Support is increased
To increase the skilled workforce in the field of artificial intelligence, the scope of support for the International Leader/Young Researchers and Industrial Doctorate Program and the number of researchers benefiting from these programs will be increased.
The quotas for postgraduate education abroad with state scholarships will be increased.
Researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence are supported through “Domestic and International Postdoctoral Fellowship Programs.” University student and staff exchange activities in the field of artificial intelligence are supported.
By creating an inventory of data from public institutions and organizations, a “Central Public Data Space” will be established.
The “Artificial Intelligence Risk Management System Certification Program”, which enables a risk-oriented assessment of artificial intelligence products, is being implemented.
Sector reports entitled ‘Analysis of the impact of artificial intelligence – Sector reports’ will be prepared.
An International Artificial Intelligence Studies Follow-up and Coordination Committee will be established to follow up on international studies in the field of artificial intelligence and to ensure active participation and involvement in studies on this topic.
An inventory will be prepared for national and international companies and products operating in the field of artificial intelligence in Turkey.
A support programme will be introduced to encourage the use of artificial intelligence products and solutions resulting from domestic R&D studies by SMEs.
“Türkiye Artificial Intelligence Portal” is established
An “Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Call” will take place. New “Public Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem Calls” will be opened to meet the needs of public administrations with industry expertise.
The “Türkiye Artificial Intelligence Portal” will be established and maintained under the leadership of the TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Artificial Intelligence Institute. “Artificial Intelligence Joint Development Institutes” will be established in accordance with the thematic structure of the Institute.
The institutional capacity of the Artificial Intelligence Institute will be enhanced to support the entire ecosystem, and a “Fundamental Research Group on Artificial Intelligence” will be established within the Institute.
Vocational training and part-time training programs are organized for unemployed and already employed people whose employment opportunities are shrinking due to artificial intelligence.
A working team will be formed within the institution to assess the impact of artificial intelligence on the transformation of professions and the workforce.
Cooperation with venture capital funds will be expanded and the establishment of industry-specific thematic clusters and competence centers will be promoted.
A “learning analytics platform” is created.
Coordination will be carried out to include data science and artificial intelligence in the curriculum of educational programs in scientific fields other than artificial intelligence.
Taking into account medium- and long-term personnel analyses and forecasts, associate, bachelor and graduate programs are opened in this area.
For private educational institutions offering certificate training, training program standards in the artificial field will be established and implemented. In this context, national professional standards and national qualifications will be developed and a measurement and evaluation infrastructure will be established.
The curricula of relevant courses will be improved around algorithmic thinking, artificial intelligence technologies and ethical principles, and digital content will be prepared as part of the curriculum.
A curriculum on artificial intelligence will be developed for vocational and technical secondary education institutions and secondary schools. Teachers' awareness and capacity will be strengthened through in-service training in this field.
To improve the learning development ecosystem, a “learning analytics platform” will be created.
To further develop the artificial intelligence ecosystem, national competitions for domestic productive applications of artificial intelligence will be held. “Artificial Intelligence Literacy Mobilization” will be launched to sensitize young sections of society to artificial intelligence and raise awareness on this issue.
A customized “artificial intelligence education model” is being developed to transform the current workforce.
