The Artificial Intelligence Law Proposal (“Proposal“), which aims to regulate artificial intelligence for the first time in Türkiye, was submitted to the Grand National Assembly of Türkiye on 24.06.2024. The Proposal aims to ensure the safe, ethical and fair use of artificial intelligence technologies; to ensure that personal data protection and privacy rights are not violated; and to establish a regulatory framework for the development and use of artificial intelligence systems.

Although the Proposal is substantially in line with the EU Artifical Intelligence Act, it may face criticism for not clearly defining its basic principles, rules, compliance measures, and the institutions responsible for enforcing sanctions in cases of non-compliance. Nevertheless, the Proposal is still of importance as it marks the first legislative efforts in this field.
