From The Perspective Of Data Protection And Cybersecurity: Increasing Need For Regulation In Artificial Intelligence

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence systems also bring the need to regulate artificial intelligence. The steps taken and the issues discussed in European Union member states within the scope of the European Union's AI Act have also begun to clarify the legal framework applicable to those systems and applications. Despite the lack of any specific regulation applicable to AI in Türkiye, there are developments that are worth considering primarily from the perspective of data protection and cybersecurity.

Protection of Personal Data – Generative Artificial Intelligence Guideline

The Personal Data Protection Authority (the "DPA") emphasized that although generative AI applications offer innovative opportunities and benefits, they also bring along certain risks from ethical, legal and societal perspectives. Accordingly, the DPA published a Guideline on Generative Artificial
