- The Turkish National Intelligence Academy’s report on “Cybersecurity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence and Türkiye’s Strategic Priorities” highlights the evolving nature of cybersecurity in light of advancements in artificial intelligence (AI).
- The report notes that AI transforms cybersecurity by expanding the scale and complexity of potential attack surfaces and by increasing the speed and sophistication of cyber attacks.
- The report emphasizes that cybersecurity in the AI era is inseparable from issues concerning social trust, institutional legitimacy, and ethical governance.
- To address these challenges, Türkiye needs robust coordination across various sectors, underpinned by clear legal frameworks, to consolidate AI and cybersecurity practices.
- Strategic priorities for Türkiye include developing a balanced cybersecurity architecture that protects critical infrastructures and ensures public service continuity while promoting private sector innovation and upholding citizens’ rights.
- In the immediate term, Türkiye should conduct AI inventories across public institutions, establish minimum security requirements, and focus on data classification and human oversight.
- In the medium term, Türkiye should enhance cyber incident response capacity, strengthen public procurement standards, and focus on infrastructure resilience.
- Long-term goals include developing domestic testing and certification capabilities and fostering resilience through public-private-academic partnerships to achieve digital sovereignty.
