Lawful use of data in machine learning-based AI under Turkish law (doctoral thesis)

AI training and copyright

Can AI be trained on protected works?

Closer to freely allowed

Turkish copyright law needs a text and data mining exception that covers commercial AI training

What it says

Güçlütürk finds that the Turkish Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works (FSEK) gives no suitable framework for using protected works and databases to train machine learning. He proposes an exception modelled on the EU text and data mining exception, extended to commercial uses and not easily switched off by rightsholders, while avoiding serious harm to authors and database makers.

Türkiye has no data mining exception yet; this award-winning thesis is the leading Turkish case for one.
