Developments: 2. Discussions regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce in Turkey have focused on the potential transformation of various professions. Initial concerns highlighted that rapid advancements in AI, blockchain, and robotics could eliminate hundreds of roles, ranging from routine office tasks to analytical and teaching positions. Critics specifically pointed to potential gaps in Turkey’s educational and employment policies, suggesting that academic programs might lack future relevance. Subsequent expert analysis from Sakarya Applied Sciences University provided a more nuanced outlook, suggesting that AI may not directly replace jobs, but rather that individuals proficient in AI will replace those who are not. While it is predicted that approximately 60 percent of current professions may disappear over the next 15 years, an equivalent number of new roles are expected to emerge. Experts emphasized the necessity of integrating AI across all sectors and using it as a consultative tool, while warning that over-reliance on the technology could weaken human cognitive abilities. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-25: Ali Furkan Kamanlı discusses AI's impact on future professions Ali Furkan Kamanlı predicts that AI will transform the job market, stating that those proficient in using AI will replace those who are not, as 60% of professions evolve or emerge over the next 15 years. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/ali-furkan-kamanl-discusses-ais-impact-on-future-professions ### 2026-09-05: Artificial intelligence threatens to transform hundreds of professions Artificial intelligence and automation threaten to transform hundreds of jobs, prompting calls for urgent reform in Turkey's education and employment policies to avoid a mismatch in future skills. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/medical-experts-warn-shortness-of-breath-may-indicate-heart-failure --- Cite as: AI impact on Turkish labor and education.
