Türkiye launches AI initiative ahead of COP31 climate summit
Türkiye has announced that artificial intelligence (AI) and climate change will be key priorities at COP31, the upcoming UN climate summit in Antalya. President Murat Kurum emphasized the need to openly discuss AI's increasing energy consumption. The summit will also focus on climate-responsible AI, pushing tech companies to power data centres with clean energy.
Türkiye aims to raise the global share of energy demand met by electricity to 35% by 2035, with the electricity primarily sourced from clean energy like solar and wind. The summit will also showcase pilot projects for responsible AI use and develop a political pledge on AI's role in climate goals.
