Türkiye plans to unveil a new national artificial intelligence vision and action plan on June 13, Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz said Friday, outlining the country's ambitions to strengthen its position in the rapidly evolving field of AI.
Speaking at the "AI Tomorrow Summit 2026" in Istanbul, Yılmaz said the new road map would be announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and would focus on developing human capital, high-performance computing infrastructure, data ecosystems, sector-specific applications and governance mechanisms.
"We consider artificial intelligence not merely as a technological tool but as one of the fundamental components of our development and competitiveness policies," Yılmaz said during a session titled "Artificial Intelligence in the Century of Türkiye: Strategy and Vision."
The summit, organized by the Artificial Intelligence Policies Association (AIPA), brought together leading AI experts, government officials, academics, entrepreneurs and technology executives.
Yılmaz said Türkiye had made notable progress since the launch of its first National Artificial Intelligence Strategy covering the 2021-2025 period.
