Abstract

Technology is developing parabolically. This development affects businesses' way of conduct. Both internal and external processes of enterprises are digitalized in order to increase efficiency and flexibility. Yet, the digitalization creates a variety of vulnerabilities and new legal and compliance risks. Some of these risks may arise directly from the technological tools used, for example, from a software. Some risks arise due to the features of these technological tools. For example, being vulnerable to cyber-attacks, hosting artificial intelligence. Some technological risks, on the other hand, may be caused by the characteristics of technological tools as well as the lack of awareness of the employees using these tools. The aim of this study is to address some of the legal and compliance risks that arise with technological developments and to suggest precautions that can be taken against these risks. In this context, first of all, the digitalization of enterprises will be briefly mentioned, then examples of the risks arising with digitalization will be given, and finally, some general recommendations will be made based on the measures that can be taken against these risks.

YENİ TEKNOLOJİLERİN HUKUKİ VE UYUM RİSKLERİ

Abstract

Teknoloji katlanarak gelişiyor. Bu gelişme işletmelerin davranış biçimlerini de etkilemektedir. Verimliliğin ve esnekliğin artırılması amacıyla işletmelerin hem iç hem de dış süreçleri dijitalleştirilmektedir. Ancak dijitalleşme çeşitli güvenlik açıklarının yanı sıra yeni yasal ve uyumluluk riskleri de yaratıyor. Bu risklerin bir kısmı doğrudan kullanılan teknolojik araçlardan, örneğin bir yazılımdan kaynaklanabilmektedir. Bu teknolojik araçların özelliklerinden dolayı bazı riskler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Örneğin siber saldırılara karşı savunmasız olmak ve yapay zekayı barındırmak. Bazı teknolojik riskler ise teknolojik araçların özelliklerinden ve bu araçları kullanan çalışanların bilinçsizliğinden kaynaklanabilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte ortaya çıkan bazı yasal ve uyumluluk risklerine değinmek ve bu risklere karşı alınabilecek önlemleri önermektir. Bu bağlamda öncelikle işletmelerin dijitalleşmesine kısaca değinilecek, ardından dijitalleşmeyle birlikte ortaya çıkan risklere örnekler verilecek ve son olarak bu risklere karşı alınabilecek önlemlere dayalı olarak bazı genel önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
