Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Türkiye: A Descriptive Analysis of TGSS Data

This study examined public perception

of artificial intelligence across Türkiye using open-access data from the 2024

Turkish General Social Survey (TGSS). To this end, the increasing role of

artificial intelligence in every field was addressed, and studies on artificial

intelligence perception across the country were reviewed. In this context, the

analysis and presentation of the data used with a large sample distinguishes

the study from other studies. The study then provides information about the

participants, dependent, and independent variables, utilizing the TGSS platform

and the Veri Analiz Okulu (Data Analysis School) lecture notes where the data

is shared. To evaluate the results, firstly frequency and percentage

distributions were analyzed, then variance analysis, chi-square analysis,

t-test, post hoc, and Tukey tests were conducted to examine how perceptions of

artificial intelligence varied across independent variables and whether

significant differences emerged. Based on the results, the general trend in

perceptions of artificial intelligence and its differences across independent

variables were interpreted. Accordingly, significant differences in perceptions

of artificial intelligence were observed across demographic variables. Finally,

suggestions were made to address these differences and for future studies.<o:p></o:p>
