NEW YORK (AA) – Türkiye’s leading news agency Anadolu introduced the advanced election tracking system used in the last Turkish elections at the MINDS International conference in Canada on Thursday, which was attended by the world's leading news agencies.
At the 35th international conference held in Toronto, which was hosted by the Canadian Press, the directors of Anadolu introduced the system they had developed to deliver the results to subscribers of the presidential elections held in Türkiye in May.
The agency’s Deputy General Manager and Editor-in-Chief Yusuf Ozhan and Marketing and Business Development Director Erman Yuksel attended the conference, which was organized with the theme of accepting the fundamental changes brought by artificial intelligence (AI).
Yuksel noted that the election tracking system, whose software was developed by Anadolu, played a "critical role" behind their success in transmitting the election results, saying that preparations have been completed for marketing election system solutions to international media organizations.

The three-day conference discussed the "great promises" of AI technology as well as its risks and dangers in both professional and personal life.
As part of the program, a team of executives from the world's largest news agencies visited the laboratories of the University of Toronto, the University of Waterloo and research centers that closely support AI studies and observed innovation studies.
The MINDS International conference, which is held twice a year, is defined as a platform that allows news agencies to develop cooperation and share their media strategies.
Major news agencies such as Anadolu, AFP, Reuters, AP, ANSA, DPA, ANA, EFE and Kyodo are among the members of MINDS International.
