In an episode of the Türkiye Yapay Zekâ İnisiyatifi (TRAI) Podcast, our Managing Partner Erdem Mümtaz Hacıpaşaoğlu walked through the impact of artificial intelligence on the law.

The central thesis of the episode was clear: as AI technology matures rapidly, the law has to produce new answers along the axes of data ownership, liability allocation, discrimination, and transparency; without those answers, the diffusion of the technology slows down against regulatory friction.

Data ownership and privacy

The ownership of training data, the licensing dimension and the privacy implications formed one of the main axes of the conversation.

Liability and ethics

The discussion turned to where liability lands for the consequences of AI-made decisions, the risk of discrimination, and how an ethical framework should be built.

Highlights from this episode

  • Data: Ownership, licensing, privacy
  • Liability: Where each actor stands in the decision chain
  • Ethics: Discrimination and transparency
