The regulatory process for artificial intelligence in Türkiye began with the 2021–2025 National Artificial Intelligence Strategy established the main objectives and governance framework, and the 2024–2025 Artificial Intelligence Action Plan set out the steps for implementing this framework.

In this context, the first Draft Artificial Intelligence Law, published on 24 June 2024, set out the primary regulatory areas for artificial intelligence systems at a draft level.

At the next stage of the process, the Draft Law on Amendments to Certain Laws, dated 7 November 2025 ("the Draft"), which includes provisions on the use of artificial intelligence technologies, was submitted to the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye and placed on the legislative agenda with the aim of enacting regulations on artificial intelligence.
