The “National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2021-2025” was prepared in cooperation with the Digital Transformation Office of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye and the Ministry of Industry and Technology and published in August 2021. Due to the recent developments in the world, especially the EU AI Act, which is also mentioned above, the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy had to be updated as the “National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2024-2025 Action Plan” (“Action Plan”).

The Action Plan aims to train artificial intelligence experts and increase employment in this field, support research, entrepreneurship and innovation, expand access to quality data and technical infrastructure, implement regulations to accelerate socioeconomic integration, strengthen international collaborations, and expedite structural and labour transition. In line with these objectives, the Action Plan assigns various public institutions responsibilities such as preparing supportive programs to encourage the use of AI products, preparing guidelines on intellectual property rights for AI products, conducting standardization studies for the patentability of AI products, issuing regulations that align with international norms for the development and market introduction of AI systems, preparing a legal analysis guideline for AI applications, and preparing an impact analysis guideline regarding AI values and principles.
