Türkiye Calls for Human Accountability as AI Systems Gain Greater Autonomy
(MENAFN) Turkish Industry and Technology Minister Mehmet Fatih Kacir stressed Saturday that artificial intelligence must remain subject to clear human accountability, arguing that technological advancement should never come at the expense of responsibility and oversight.
Speaking during a panel discussion titled "Navigating Responsibility in the Age of AI" at the TRT World Forum, Kacir highlighted growing concerns surrounding increasingly independent AI technologies, particularly regarding transparency, operational safety and the identification of responsibility when systems cause harm.
"We can delegate authority to AI, but we cannot delegate responsibility," he said.
The minister identified several emerging challenges associated with the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence, including discriminatory algorithmic decisions, cyberattacks, manipulated digital content and the growing concentration of computing infrastructure among a limited number of major technology corporations.
Providing figures to illustrate the industry's concentration, Kacir noted that private companies developed more than 90% of the world's notable advanced AI models in 2025. He also pointed out that approximately five corporations controlled an estimated 70% of worldwide AI computing capacity.
Kacir called for regulatory frameworks that prioritize human interests and assess risks according to the potential consequences of different AI applications. He emphasized that technologies capable of significantly affecting people's lives should be subject to stricter protections, alongside effective human supervision and accountability mechanisms.
