A Türkiye that owns its data, its language and its computing power
In the age of AI, power belongs to those who own data, language and computing capacity. We propose national and pan-Turkic solutions in all three.
National data
Keeping critical public data in the country under national control must be made a firm rule. Health, defense, energy and identity data should not sit on infrastructure subject to foreign law.
Computing power
GPU capacity is the railway of this age. Distributed models that pool the country's idle computing power can build domestic cloud capacity without waiting for giant investments.
Turkic-language AI
An open language model that learns Turkish and the Turkic languages together both protects culture and offers a tool that public services and defense can use safely.
Cybersecurity
Protection of public, energy and communications infrastructure should be strengthened by a joint center that shares intelligence across the Turkic world.
Domestic software first
Giving priority to domestic software and cloud services in public procurement is the most effective way to grow national technology companies.
Skilled people
The strongest remedy for brain drain is offering young people world-class projects in their own country.
