<\/p>\nT\u00fcrkiye has taken new steps to expand its artificial intelligence ecosystem and public-sector adoption with new decrees published in the Official Gazette on Friday.<\/p>\n
The Directorate General of National Technology within the Industry and Technology Ministry has been renamed and will now operate as the Directorate General of National Technology and Artificial Intelligence.<\/p>\n
The renamed directorate will develop and implement policies and strategies to expand T\u00fcrkiye’s data center and cloud computing infrastructure, Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kac\u0131r said.<\/p>\n
It will also set criteria and standards for data centers and oversee regulations for certification and authorization processes, Kac\u0131r wrote on the social media platform X.<\/p>\n
The directorate will work to ensure that AI technologies are developed and used in line with ethical and reliable principles, to expand data, infrastructure and workforce capacity, support startups and research activities, coordinate national-level AI governance, and promote international cooperation, according to the minister.<\/p>\n
Separately, a Public Artificial Intelligence Directorate General has been established under the Presidency’s Cybersecurity Directorate to guide the use of AI across government institutions.<\/p>\n
The new unit will lead regulatory work on government AI applications, help align national legislation with international frameworks, and set principles and standards for data governance related to digital government and AI use in the public sector, Kac\u0131r noted.<\/p>\n
The public AI directorate will also identify institutional needs, establish a shared data-space infrastructure, and define quality standards for datasets used in AI applications, he said.<\/p>\n
“With strong coordination among stakeholders in the public sector, academia and the private sector, we will ensure that T\u00fcrkiye becomes one of the leading countries in the field of artificial intelligence,” Kac\u0131r said.<\/p>\n
