The Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA) is studying the impact of artificial intelligence across a wide range of fields, from climate change, pandemics and disaster management to law and education.
Muzaffer Seker, a professor of medicine and president of TUBA, told Anadolu Agency (AA) that the academy's working groups monitor scientific developments around the world, identify gaps in Türkiye and develop recommendations in their respective fields.
Through its IT and AI working group, the academy is examining how AI can be harnessed in key sectors while also assessing the policy steps needed to strengthen Türkiye's capabilities in the rapidly developing field.
The working group will evaluate potential next steps through workshops and other events in the coming days, with its findings to be presented to decision-makers.
The findings will also serve as a basis for TUBA's advisory work with public institutions and organizations, supporting efforts to strengthen Türkiye's research capacity and skilled workforce in information technologies.
