Chairman of Haberler.com, Dr. Ekrem Teymur, was a live guest on EkoTürk TV with Ali Çağatay. During the broadcast, he made important evaluations on the future of media, the effects of artificial intelligence on the industry, and the steps Turkey needs to take in this area.
Teymur emphasized that journalism will never disappear, but the methods of communication will transform with technological changes. He stated, "Journalism never dies, it always exists, but as technology changes, methods change, and the style of communication changes," and highlighted that media organizations must always be honest with their readers.
"ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL CHANGE THE NATURE OF MEDIA"
In his speech, Teymur noted that artificial intelligence will fundamentally change the media sector and mentioned that global competition in this area is increasing. He expressed that new competitors from China are shaking the balances, especially against U.S.-based artificial intelligence applications, and pointed out that new AI models like DeepSeek have caused fluctuations in the stocks of major technology companies.
"FOR TURKEY, ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IS A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE"
Teymur stressed that Turkey needs to invest more in artificial intelligence, stating that this issue has now become a matter of national security. He said, "It is not enough for the government to allocate a budget; serious resources must be directed to this area by raising funds from large investors. If we do not act with a strategic approach like in TOGG, Turkey will fall behind in this race."
He pointed out that it is not too late yet, but time is running out, saying, "The artificial intelligence train has not yet left for Turkey, but if we do not hurry, it will," urging authorities and the private sector to take action.
