The practice

Regulatory compliance is not a simple checkbox; it's the legal guarantee that your AI products can confidently enter global markets.

We enable technology companies to translate rapidly evolving global AI regulations into clear, legally defensible, and commercially enforceable decisions. Our work blends the rigor of international contract and technology law with the practical development processes of algorithms to ensure that compliance steps confidently support, rather than slow down, your product roadmap.

Our legal opinions are never abstract recommendations open to interpretation. The process is clear and documented: an operational legal gap analysis that your company can act upon quickly, and a signed compliance statement that you can present to investors, international business partners, and regulatory bodies.

Data sovereignty, transparency and legal accountability

Türkiye'nin Muhtemel Yapay Zeka Yasası: Veri Egemenliği, Telif Hakları, Algoritmik Şeffaflık ve Hukuki Sorumluluk (Bölüm 3)

Yapay zeka sistemleri sadece kod parçacıklarından ibaret değildir; onlar karar veren, üreten, teşhis koyan, sanat eserleri oluşturan ve bazen de "hata yapan" otonom aktörlerdir. Bir tıp yapay zekası yanlış teşhis koyduğunda hasta kime dava açacaktır? Üretken bir yapay zeka, dünyaca ünlü bir yazarın üslubunu kopyalayarak yeni bir kitap yazdığında telif hakkı kime aittir? Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşlarının sağlık, finans ve eğitim verileri, ABD merkezli yapay zeka sunucularını eğitmek için kullanılabilir mi? Okumakta olduğunuz bu üçüncü ve en kapsamlı bölüm, Türkiye'nin hazırlayacağı muhtemel bir Yapay Zeka Yasası'nın hukuki, etik ve ulusal güvenlik boyutlarına ışık tutmaktadır. Bu bölüm, politika yapıcılar, hukukçular, veri bilimciler ve teknolojinin sosyal etkileriyle ilgilenen herkes için derinlemesine bir başvuru kaynağı olarak tasarlanmıştır.

AI: new employment areas and opportunities

Turkey's Prospective AI Act: New Employment Areas and Opportunities (Part 2)

The vast majority of debates surrounding the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution are understandably framed around the fear of job displacement. In the first part of our report, we examined the magnitude of this threat by mapping Turkey's sectoral risks. However, human history demonstrates that technological revolutions consistently create a greater number of higher-skilled jobs than they destroy. The invention of the printing press may have left scribes unemployed, but it spawned massive publishing, journalism, and library sectors. A prospective Turkish AI Act must not only be designed with a defensive reflex to protect existing employment, but also with an offensive vision to capture a share of the global pie in the entirely new business sectors AI will generate. Turkey possesses significant strategic advantages to adopt this "New Collar" employment model that will be created by artificial intelligence.

Turkey's prospective AI act: employment protection and sectoral quotas

Türkiye's Potential Artificial Intelligence Law: Proposals on Employment Protection and Sectoral Quotas (Part 1)

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution, much like the Industrial Revolution, is fundamentally rewriting the paradigms of production. However, this time, it is not just physical labor at risk, but cognitive and analytical human effort as well. For countries with young and dynamic labor forces like Turkey, adopting AI is a necessity for global competitiveness, but this integration requires legal guardrails so it doesn't spiral into an "employment crisis."
