İş Bank and Koç University establish Artificial Intelligence Application and Research...

On the occasion of the introduction of Koç University İş Bank Artificial Intelligence Application and Research Center, İşbank General Manager Adnan Bali and Koç University Rector. Dr. A press conference was held with the participation of Umran Inan.

Adnan Bali, in his speech at the meeting, said that the researches that will be carried out in the Artificial Intelligence Application and Research Center, which will create added value for the country and make a leap in scientific sense will trigger new studies in other fields and will open new doors. Pointing out that the most important response of digitalization and technological innovations today has become artificial intelligence, Bali said: “We now clearly see that digitalization, innovation and technology are the hallmarks of all sectors, which are the engines of development in countries and economies. In big economies of the world, technology-based companies are increasing their weight day by day. Built on digitalization, coding, artificial intelligence, robotic industries; the success of countries to science,

"Central, we see Turkey as investment in the future" 

Adnan Bali, the most important competencies of data collection in order to compete in based world of artificial intelligence, considering the fact that the processing and algorithm development, also said that a clearer understanding of Turkey's human resource development of the power requirements for this area. Bali stated that the established Center will also ensure the development of our country's human resources in terms of both quantity and quality in future professions such as data engineering and software engineering. Bali, "we see Turkey as investment in the future of our greatest wish that this center; He said that he carried our country to a higher level in the international level in scientific studies and enabled us to have a say in the scientific literature in this field. ”

"The first time this scale artificial intelligence center established in Turkey"

Rector of Koç University. Dr. In his speech, Umran Inan said; Center's research, education and industry cooperation, he said that the establishment of the goal of becoming a leading institution in Turkey. In Turkey "the first time on this scale," indicating that the implementation of an artificial intelligence center Prof. Dr. Inan said: “The rate of change in science is now measured by years or even months, not centuries or decades. A new discipline is born almost every day; old disciplines come to life again with unexpected collaborations. It is precisely at this point, and was founded by Ataturk, one of Turkey's oldest bank Isbank with artificial intelligence that we create such a center, ... Artificial intelligence is very important for our university, This Research Center excites us very much, as it has definitely become an integral part of our daily life and will undoubtedly continue to have a great social and economic impact. In this century, where we are talking about the great importance of multi-disciplinary studies and research, it is certain that artificial intelligence, which enables the computer to think like people, will direct the future, strengthen transitions, collaborations, partnerships. ”
