T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s digital transformation and technological capacity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will carry T\u00fcrkiye among the leading countries of the artificial intelligence age,\u201d Erdo\u011fan said. \u201cWe will also make the Century of T\u00fcrkiye the century of digital production.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Erdo\u011fan said political, military and economic power could no longer be considered separately from digital sovereignty, adding that data security and cyber resilience had become central to national strength.<\/p>\n<p>He said T\u00fcrkiye had recognized the importance of technological transformation early and had shaped its policies accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The new action plan is built on four main pillars: awareness, use, production and governance, Erdo\u011fan said.<\/p>\n<p>Under the awareness pillar, T\u00fcrkiye will launch a national AI literacy program to help citizens better understand the opportunities and risks of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n<p>Erdo\u011fan said 5 million people would receive training under the program within two years.<\/p>\n<p>The second pillar, focused on use, aims to expand AI applications in areas including public services, industry, education, health, agriculture and security.<\/p>\n<p>Erdo\u011fan said T\u00fcrkiye would introduce legal regulations to ensure that data centers meet international standards and energy efficiency requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The country aims to increase its installed data-center capacity to at least 1 gigawatt by 2030, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Erdo\u011fan also said at least 2 percent of public investment programs would be allocated to AI projects, with the public sector acting as an early buyer and reference point for successful domestic AI solutions.<\/p>\n<p>SMEs will be supported through AI vouchers, particularly in health, energy and smart manufacturing, he said.<\/p>\n<p>Under the production pillar, T\u00fcrkiye will work to develop its own AI models and establish AI growth zones offering ready energy and infrastructure for investors, as well as rapid prototyping opportunities for SMEs and researchers.<\/p>\n<p>Erdo\u011fan said T\u00fcrkiye would seek to build a stronger digital production base while managing the risks posed by AI, including disinformation, manipulation and cyber threats.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ISTANBUL President Recep Tayyip Erdo\u011fan has unveiled T\u00fcrkiye\u2019s new artificial intelligence action plan, saying the country
