WSI Champions AI Thought Leadership with Forbes Turkiye Collaboration
This partnership marks a significant step in the conversation around Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its profound impact on industries in Turkey and beyond.
Through her role as an AI Content and Event Advisor and Regular Columnist for Forbes Turkiye, Basev is dedicated to fostering meaningful dialogue about AI’s transformative power. Together with Forbes Turkiye, she is leading the launch of Turkey’s first-ever AI Leadership Index. This innovative tool will assess the nation’s AI readiness and benchmark it on a global scale, empowering businesses to adopt AI strategically and ethically.
“The collaboration with Forbes Turkiye aims to drive critical conversations and guide businesses toward a future where AI adoption is both responsible and impactful. Our mission is to ensure that leaders across industries are equipped with the knowledge and strategies needed to thrive in the digital age," said Hande Ocak Basev.
The initiative launched in November 2024 with a roundtable of academics and board members focusing on leadership and decision-making. This event is part of a larger series designed to equip leaders across industries with actionable insights.
"Forbes Turkiye is proud to collaborate with WSI to advance the conversation around AI and its transformative potential for businesses and industries. By launching initiatives like the AI Leadership Index, we aim to provide valuable insights that empower decision-makers to embrace innovation responsibly and strategically. Together, we are shaping the future of AI thought leadership in Turkey and beyond," said Forbes Media President Ayşe Burçak Güven.
Looking ahead, WSI and Forbes Turkiye will host a six-part event series that will take place at the Hilton Bomonti Hotel, Istanbul, and will explore AI’s impact across various sectors:
AI for Startups and Entrepreneurs — February 12, 2025
AI for CEOs — April 17, 2025

AI in Education — October 9, 2025
This series will culminate in an AI Summit in December 2025, where key insights and actionable strategies for AI adoption across industries will be shared.
This collaboration reflects the strength of WSI’s global network, which is built on innovation, collaboration, and leadership.
