Research
Türkiye AI Ethics Institute’s initiative covers key topics such as bias in algorithms, data privacy concerns, the impact of AI on job displacement, and the importance of responsible development, deployment, and regulation of AI technologies. In addition to these core areas, the institute also addresses the intersection of AI ethics with environmental concerns such as the climate crisis. By exploring how AI technologies can be leveraged to address climate-related challenges, the institute aims to promote responsible AI practices that contribute to sustainability and environmental stewardship. These discussions delve into addressing bias for fair decision-making, safeguarding data privacy rights, understanding workforce changes due to automation, and promoting ethical guidelines throughout the AI lifecycle, while also considering the ethical implications of using AI for climate modeling, resource management, renewable energy optimization, and other applications aimed at mitigating the effects of climate change. By focusing on these critical areas, the institute aims to raise awareness, facilitate discussions, and drive actions towards promoting ethical AI practices and mitigating potential risks associated with artificial intelligence.
Ideas and Experiences
Diverse range of opinions on AI ethics and societal impacts are shared. It offers wide range of perspectives and opinions in a more informal and varied format. These insights cover topics such as the ethics of computer vision, the social context in large language model (LLM) research, the role of AI in healthcare, reflections on uncertainty in AI decision-making, key topics related to climate change, regulations on legal structures etc. Following these opinions, expert viewpoints and insights are presented subsequently offering valuable commentary on the ethical challenges and considerations surrounding artificial intelligence technologies. This combined approach aims to stimulate critical thinking, foster discussions, and provide diverse perspectives on the ethical implications of AI technologies, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of AI ethics and its societal implications.
Publications
We work to include a collection of formal research papers, articles, reports, and written materials produced by the institute or in collaboration with external partners. These publications are more structured and in-depth, covering a wide range of topics related to AI ethics, such as ethical considerations in AI development and deployment, societal impacts of AI technologies, governance frameworks for AI, and emerging trends in the field of AI ethics.
