Serkan Ozturk: “It is crucial to develop AI technologies that understand our language”

Demonstrating the substantial distinction between AI applications developed abroad and in Turkey during his speech, “National and local AI algorithms that understand our needs, culture, language and its structure are required to train AI technologies,” says Serkan Ozturk, Turkcell CIO. “We use AI technologies almost in every aspect of our core business and drive significant benefits. Out of these efforts, Yaani Assistant’s competence to think and understand Turkish will underline its distinction from other assistants after its soon launch.”

Turkcell Legal and Regulation team conducts international studies in the AI field

As a powerful enabler to augment the capability of the society in various areas, AI empowers organizations to satisfy the needs of customers before the need arises, predict and avoid potential malfunctions in systems, and carry out tasks that require high and constant power without an error. With its immense pace in development in the last five years, AI raises powerful questions about degradation of existing jobs, personal data protection and privacy and whether machines will become a thread for the society. With the announcement, Turkcell has added another first to its track and emphasized the positive impacts of AI despite the suspicion and fear for the new generation technology.

Turkcell Legal and Regulation team engages in studies with international organizations such as UNICEF, WEF and IEEE to eliminate the concerns related to AI technologies and to drive positive outcomes for the society. Turkcell endeavors and takes an active role in international studies about Global Principles on AI and Child Rights, Principles related to Responsible Use of Facial Recognition Technology and setting the ethical standards for Emotional AI. Turkcell puts the law on the protection of personal data at the center, and emphasizes that AI technologies are an important aspect of fundamental human rights for further improvement.
