Status notes

Received by the TBMM Presidency on 24 June 2024 and referred on 25 June 2024 to the Industry, Trade, Energy, Natural Resources, Information and Technology Committee as lead committee and to the Justice Committee as secondary committee, where it remains. The bill would enter into force on publication. It does not define which systems are high-risk, name the supervisory authorities or list the prohibited practices its fines refer to. 'Distributor-user' renders dağıtıcı/kullanıcı, defined as a person who distributes AI systems commercially or uses them in their own activities. A later private member's bill on AI provisions in the Turkish Penal Code and other laws (2/3358) is TR-02.
