3. ETAI Center’s Director Interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı on AI Efficiency and Infrastructure Dynamics

The Center’s Director, Gloria Shkurti Özdemir, was interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı for a feature titled “Google’ın TurboQuant duyurusunun donanım ihtiyacını azaltması beklenmiyor.”

In the interview, she provided a critical assessment of recent developments in AI efficiency, emphasizing that advancements such as Google’s TurboQuant algorithm should not be interpreted as reducing overall hardware demand. Instead, she highlighted that such innovations enable more efficient utilization of existing infrastructure, potentially expanding, rather than diminishing, long-term demand for computational resources.

She further underlined that market reactions to AI breakthroughs are often shaped by speculative narratives rather than technical realities, noting the increasing sensitivity of AI markets to perceived paradigm shifts rather than their actual structural implications.

4. ETAI Center’s Director Interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı on Data Centers as Strategic Assets in Modern Warfare

The Center’s Director, Gloria Shkurti Özdemir, was interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı in the article “Veri merkezleri savaş alanlarının yeni stratejik hedefi haline geldi.”

In her analysis, she highlighted a structural transformation in contemporary conflict, arguing that digital infrastructure, particularly data centers, has evolved from a tool of geopolitical competition into a direct component of the battlefield.

She emphasized that, much like energy infrastructure in the industrial era, data centers now function as critical nodes of economic and state capacity, making them increasingly strategic targets in conflict scenarios. Özdemir also introduced the concept of data centers as “digital bases,” underscoring their role in projecting technological power and embedding state and corporate systems within global digital networks.

5. ETAI Center’s Director Interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı on Digital Infrastructure as a Strategic Target in the Gulf

The Center’s Director, Gloria Shkurti Özdemir, was interviewed by Anadolu Ajansı in the article “Körfez’deki 30’dan fazla ABD’li teknoloji tesisi İran’ın hedef listesine girdi.”

In her analysis, she examined the growing strategic significance of digital infrastructure in contemporary geopolitical conflicts, emphasizing that major U.S. technology companies operating in the Gulf region are not merely commercial actors but integral components of critical national and regional systems.

She highlighted that cloud infrastructure provided by companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon underpins essential sectors including banking, healthcare, energy, and public services. As a result, targeting these infrastructures could trigger systemic disruptions, ranging from financial system failures to interruptions in energy management and public service delivery.

Özdemir further argued that such developments reflect a broader transformation in global conflict dynamics, where attacks on digital infrastructure simultaneously impact economic stability, state capacity, and geopolitical influence, positioning technology ecosystems at the center of strategic competition.
