Study Artificial Intelligence in Turkey

The specialty of artificial intelligence is one of the modern disciplines that appeared in the last century, but it has made great achievements in many areas of life, as it has become expected that those machines that rely on artificial intelligence will have the ability to do all the work that humans do with high accuracy. . And the Turkish Minister of Industry and Technology, Mustafa Varank, had previously stated that Turkey aims to have the number of employees in the field of artificial intelligence at least 50 thousand by the year 2025, and this was during the definition of the National Program for Strengthening the Strategy of Artificial Intelligence, which was held in the "Information Technology Valley" in Ankara.
It is worth noting that artificial intelligence techniques are expected to have a greater impact on the global economy than the Internet revolution, especially that the restrictions of the Corona pandemic have led to an increase in the use of artificial intelligence, and thus, students of this specialization in Turkey will develop analytical skills, logical thinking skills, and they will keep pace with All technological developments, in addition to the successful career future that awaits them after their graduation.And through this article, we will answer everything on your mind about this specialty in Turkey

About the field of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence studies began with a dream of producing intelligent machines that demonstrate human behavior, and has become a leader in technological developments around the world. Where artificial intelligence can be defined as the intelligence, characteristics, characteristics and specific behaviors of computer hardware and software, artificial intelligence makes these devices able to simulate the human mind and work to deduce different solutions to all problems based on smart programs.

 

Artificial intelligence is called "Artificial intelligence" in English, and the acronym AI is used to define it, as it is called in Turkish "Yapay Zeka". The specialization of artificial intelligence is considered a branch of computer engineering, but it has made its way towards independence and has become a stand-alone due to its importance and for being a leading discipline today.

 

We can say that the specialization of Artificial Intelligence Engineering is the perfect space for students who seek to contribute to the most important technological transformation of our time and for those who rely on their analytical skills, imagination and ability to design, exceed the limits of their talents and achieve their dreams.

 

What subjects are taught in Artificial Intelligence?

 

The specialization of artificial intelligence is one of the most specialized disciplines that does not depend on scientific disciplines only, but is closely related to all and various sciences, especially philosophy and psychology. Most universities around the world and in Turkey have started adding this specialization to the master’s stage as part of graduate studies, but with its increasing importance, it is now being adopted as an essential part of the bachelor’s degree specializations in many universities and has become an indispensable specialization in any country.

 

The bachelor's program in Artificial Intelligence Engineering often begins in the second academic year, after the student studies in his first year the basics of computer engineering sciences, and from the second year the student begins to study the following subjects: Principles of Artificial Intelligence, Computer and Ethics, Fundamentals of Artificial Learning Artificial Learning Lab, Data Science Fundamentals, Data Science Lab, Formal Languages ​​and Machine Theory. In addition, there is a range of electives focusing on: cognition and language, big data, artificial learning, medical artificial intelligence, decision making and robotics. It is worth noting that all universities are seeking to integrate theoretical and applied education, and therefore the student is required to apply what he has learned theoretically by designing different projects within the specialization.

 

What are the prospects and areas of work after studying this specialty?

 

It must first be noted that this specialization is the specialty of the future, and with the lack of specialists, the door has become open for graduates to launch in the labor market and scientific research, whether in Turkey or one of the developed countries. This major is considered one of the majors that are in great demand by students in recent years, because graduates of this major have an excellent future in the labor market in terms of available jobs, and high salaries due to the urgent need for this major in daily life and various activities. After graduating, a student of artificial intelligence engineering can work in the following fields

 

•      computer engineering
•     Work in the field of education
•     Expertise in machine learning
•     Expertise in programming
•     Systems analysis and development
•     Expertise in databases
•     Specializing in computer and robotics

 

It is also possible to work in the field of teaching and training others on the uses of software and artificial intelligence. There are also many fields of work available, and opportunities will certainly increase as time progresses.

 

What Turkish universities offer this specialization?

 

Due to the fact that the specialization of artificial intelligence engineering is a newborn and independence from the specialization of computer engineering, Turkish universities have started from the year 2019 to offer master's and bachelor's programs in artificial intelligence engineering. Hacettepe Üniversitesi University in Ankara is one of the most important Turkish public universities, and it is the first university to open an independent department in the field of artificial intelligence in Turkey, and has received 30 students of artificial intelligence engineers as a first batch. In addition to this, there are other universities that offer artificial intelligence, such as:
TOBB Ekonomi ve Teknoloji Üniversitesi . University of Economics and Technology

•      Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi . University of Bahçeşehir
•      Istanbul Technical University İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi
•      Ankara Üniversitesi . University
•      Yeditepe Üniversitesi

 

At the end of our article, we will talk about the most important aspects that revolve around the specialization of artificial intelligence in Turkey. We hope that you have obtained adequate answers to all the questions you have about this field.
