Artificial intelligence integration in Turkey

Research studies in Turkey indicate a significant integration of artificial intelligence into the daily lives of various demographics. An initial study by MOVA and KONDA Araştırma focused on smart living technologies, finding that 62% of urban residents use at least one AI tool, with usage reaching 94% among university students. This research highlighted a trend toward delegating household chores to AI-supported devices, such as robot vacuum cleaners, which contribute to measurable weekly time savings.

Subsequent research presented by Garanti BBVA and FutureBright Group specifically examined the ‘Youth of Turkey’ (ages 17–26). This study found that 43% of young people use AI almost every day and 53% use it for idea development. Notably, the research revealed a social dimension to technology use, with 65% of surveyed youth reporting they have spoken to an AI when feeling bad instead of turning to an acquaintance. While AI is increasingly viewed as a necessity, the study also noted concerns among young people regarding its potential impact on human creativity and thinking.
