Who Are We

A dedicated team working to ensure Turkey is prepared for the AI-driven future.

Our Story

The AI Literacy Initiative was born out of a critical realization: while artificial intelligence is accelerating at an unprecedented pace, public understanding remains dangerously delayed. We saw a growing divide between the developers shaping the future and the ordinary citizens whose lives will be impacted by it.

We exist to bridge that gap. We believe that AI literacy is no longer just a technical skill, but a foundational civic requirement for the 21st century. Our goal is to empower the people of Turkey—students, parents, professionals, and policymakers—with the knowledge they need to use AI responsibility, productively, and safely.
