Weeks after unveiling its ambitious 2026-2030 Artificial Intelligence Action Plan, Türkiye is taking another step in its AI road map by developing an AI assistant for e-Government (e-Devlet), where citizens will be able to access AI-supported services and assess their AI literacy.
The initiative was unveiled Thursday during a panel organized by the Culture Civilization Foundation (KÜME), where officials discussed Türkiye's Artificial Intelligence Action Plan, its strategic priorities, key application areas and long-term road map.
Speaking at the event, Sadullah Uzun, director general of National Technology and Artificial Intelligence at the Ministry of Industry and Technology, said AI infrastructure is advancing faster than the solutions built on top of it, as people increasingly move beyond the technology's entertainment value to applications that simplify everyday life and address industry-specific needs.
Referring to a recent U.N. report on global AI development, Uzun said the technology remains heavily concentrated in a handful of countries despite its rapid expansion.
"The report presents striking data on global AI investment and the current state of development. It shows that 75% of the world's top 500 high-performance computing systems are in the U.S., while China accounts for another 15%. In other words, the two countries control 90% of the world's computing infrastructure, leaving only 10% for the rest of the world, largely in Europe," he said.
