Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu No. 6698 (Personal Data Protection Law) · Rekabetin Korunması Hakkında Kanun No. 4054 (Protection of Competition Law) · Tüketicinin Korunması Hakkında Kanun No. 6502 (Consumer Protection Law) — **Status: Tracking**

Türkiye has no artificial-intelligence act. What binds an AI deployer is general law, and this is the legal basis under which the eight Turkish matters already in the enforcement corpus were decided. Law No. 6698, the Kişisel Verilerin Korunması Kanunu, was adopted on 24 March 2016 and published in Resmî Gazete No. 29677 on 7 April 2016; it is the statute the Kişisel Verileri Koruma Kurumu (KVKK) acts under, and it governs the personal data an AI system is trained on and processes. Law No. 4054 on the Protection of Competition, published in Resmî Gazete No. 22140 on 13 December 1994, is the route an algorithmic-pricing or self-preferencing matter takes before the Rekabet Kurumu. Law No. 6502 on Consumer Protection, published in Resmî Gazete No. 28835 on 28 November 2013, is the Reklam Kurulu's statute and the parent of the advertising rules that carry Türkiye's AI-disclosure obligation. Platform and ranking systems are additionally reached by Law No. 5651 on internet publications and Law No. 6563 on electronic commerce. Every date and gazette number above is lifted verbatim from the header block of the consolidated text published by the Cumhurbaşkanlığı Mevzuat Bilgi Sistemi. ⚠️ These statutes are AI-RELEVANT, not AI-specific, and the distinction matters: none of them mentions artificial intelligence, and presenting them as Türkiye's AI regime would overstate what the country has enacted.
