Türkiye is updating its national artificial intelligence strategy as it seeks to replicate the technological gains achieved in its defense industry, whose advancements have overhauled warfare concepts.
Government institutions, defense companies and private-sector firms are intensifying efforts to expand the country's AI capabilities in areas ranging from large language models and public-sector applications to data infrastructure and autonomous defense systems.
The initiative comes as AI increasingly reshapes global industries, including manufacturing, finance, health care, defense and public administration, prompting countries to compete for technological leadership and digital sovereignty.
The updated strategy is said to aim to position Türkiye among countries capable not only of using AI technologies, but also designing, producing and exporting them competitively on a global scale.
