Abstract

Yapay zekaya ilginin dramatik bir artış gösterdiği günümüzde, özel sektörde
olduğu gibi kamu sektöründe de etkili kullanım yöntemlerinin tespiti ve yaygınlaştırılması
büyük önem taşımaktadır. Yapay zekanın ulaşım, altyapı, sosyal yardım harcamaları, afet
yönetimi gibi kamusal hizmetlerin üretimi veya sunumundaki rolünün anlaşılabilmesi
için yapay zekanın kamu bütçesi çerçevesinde incelenmesi önemli olmakla birlikte,
literatürde bu alanda yapılmış araştırmaların sınırlı olduğu görülmektedir. Yapay
zekanın kamu bütçesi süreçlerindeki rolünü araştırarak, kamu sektöründe etkin bir
şekilde uygulanabilirliğini tartışmayı amaçlayan bu çalışmada, dünyanın yedi coğrafi
bölgesinde Government AI Readiness Index’ten en çok puan alan 7 ülke ile Türkiye’nin
yapay zekâ ile ilgili ulusal stratejileri ve uygulamaları incelenmiştir. Analizimizde yapay
zekanın literatürle uyumlu bir şekilde kamu bütçe süreçlerinin planlama, hazırlanma ve
yetki alma, uygulama ve denetim aşamalarının tümünde kullanılabileceği ve Türkiye’nin
de bu alana oldukça önem veren bir ülke olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada daha etkili
ve yaygın kullanılabilmesi için yapay zekaya yönelik teşviklerin artırılması ve nitelikli
insan kaynağının oluşturulmasına öncelikli stratejiler arasında yer verilmesi gerektiği
vurgulanmaktadır.

The Role of AI in Public Budget Processes: A Comparative Evaluation on National AI Strategies and Practical Examples

Abstract

In today’s world, where interest in AI has increased dramatically, identifying and
disseminating effective methods of use is of great importance in the public sector,
as it is in the private sector. While it is important to examine AI within the framework
of the public budget in order to understand its role in the production or delivery of
public services such as transport, infrastructure, social welfare spending, and disaster
management, research is limited in this area in the literature. This study, which aims to
investigate the role of artificial intelligence in public budget processes and discuss its
effective applicability in the public sector, examines national strategies and applications related to artificial intelligence in Türkiye and seven countries with the highest scores
in the Government AI Readiness Index across seven geographical regions of the world.
Our analysis found that AI can be used in all stages of public budget processes from
planning, preparation and authorization to implementation and control inline with the
literature, and that Türkiye is a country that attaches considerable importance to this
area. The study emphasises that increasing incentives for AI and prioritising strategies
for creating qualified human resources are necessary for more effective and widespread
use of AI in public budgeting.
