Bursa’s manufacturers face a major shift as AI enters industry
Bursa’s manufacturers are being urged to prepare for wider use of artificial intelligence in factories, from automotive and textiles to machinery.
The commentary cites a forecast by Professor Necmi Gürsakal that AI will enter factory planning, monitoring and quality checks in 2026 and 2027.
From 2027 to 2030, a gap could grow between businesses that adapt and those that stick to traditional methods.
From 2030, the forecast sees production, engineering and data management becoming closely linked.
Automation could put jobs and business competitiveness at risk if companies and workers are unprepared.
The piece argues that AI should support human workers, not replace their judgment, and calls for updated training and lower digitalisation costs for small businesses.
Bursa has begun preparing through technology-focused industrial zones and digitalisation events, but the commentary says skilled people will remain essential.
Bursa’s manufacturers face pressure to adopt artificial intelligence as factories move toward data-driven production and automation.
A projection by Professor Necmi Gürsakal outlines three stages for the transformation, from factory integration in 2026-2027 to a new industrial model after 2030.
The article warns that businesses that adapt and those that resist could face a widening gap in competitiveness and employment.
It says Bursa has initiatives including high-tech industrial zones and “Digital OSB” meetings, but stresses the need to prepare workers through education and professional development.
The article argues that AI should support human skills and be managed by people, rather than replace human judgment.
