PERSPECTIVES ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REGULATION IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND TURKİYE: FROM RISK-BASED APPROACHES TO LEGAL HARMONIZATION DEBATES
Öz
This study examines the regulation of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the European Union’s Artificial Intelligence Act (EU AI Act) and legislative initiatives in Türkiye. The paper emphasises the growing importance of AI governance, considering recent technological advances, particularly following the emergence of generative AI. The EU AI Act introduces a detailed risk-based framework that classifies AI applications into categories ranging from unacceptable to minimal risk and imposes binding obligations on developers and users of high-risk systems. By contrast, Türkiye’s approach presents a more general structure, setting out guiding principles rather than specific compliance requirements. The analysis shows that Türkiye’s strategy provides an institutional and political basis for governance while also leaving room for flexibility. This dual orientation reflects Türkiye’s effort to strengthen national technological capacity while engaging in international co-operation and aligning with global standards. The paper argues that effective AI regulation requires a balanced approach that addresses ethical and legal concerns while supporting innovation. Within this framework, the EU AI Act stands out as a significant point of reference not only for Europe but also for countries with close economic and political ties to the EU. The findings suggest that Türkiye is likely to move gradually towards greater convergence with European standards, shaped by its economic relations, foreign policy priorities, and participation in multilateral initiatives.
