Halil Aksu, Founder of the Turkey Artificial Intelligence Initiative, announced that projects at Zorlu Holding have generated annual savings of 10 million dollars.

The effects of artificial intelligence on the business world were addressed at the 9th Turkey Artificial Intelligence Summit, organized by the Turkey Artificial Intelligence Initiative with the theme "Agents Among Us." TRAI Founder Halil Aksu stated that artificial intelligence creates a wide-ranging transformation, from companies' management approaches to employees' business processes. Aksu reported that 94 projects carried out within Zorlu Holding are currently live in use, providing annual savings of 10 million dollars, and this figure is expected to exceed 20 million dollars by the end of the year.

Prof. Dr. George Westerman, Senior Lecturer at the MIT Sloan School of Management, emphasized that extracting economic value from artificial intelligence depends not only on technology, but also on companies' adaptation to change and their leadership processes. Allison Schwier, Senior Advisor to the Acting Science and Technology Adviser at the U.S. Department of State, evaluated Turkey's targets of a 1-gigawatt data center and at least 10 billion dollars in investments under the 2026-2030 Artificial Intelligence Action Plan.
