In this era of rapidly advancing science and technology, it is exciting to see that artificial intelligence (AI) has become a part of real life from science fiction stories and is transforming more areas daily. Today, the impact of AI on our lives has undoubtedly gained great momentum. These effects are deeply felt in social, industrial, and academic areas worldwide. With its computing power and data processing capacity, artificial intelligence has become one of the most important inventions in human history. It has brought groundbreaking innovations in technology and engineering, health, law, economy, agriculture, art, education, aviation, and many other disciplines. The innovations that artificial intelligence brings to these disciplines not only make life more efficient, safer, and more comfortable but also offer the potential to find solutions to social problems. However, another critical issue to be considered when developing and using artificial intelligence technologies is ethical and legal responsibilities. The primary priorities to be emphasized are that artificial intelligence systems are fair, transparent, and accountable in their decision-making processes. While maximizing the potential benefits of AI, it should never be forgotten that social rights must be protected, individual privacy must be respected, and human rights must be respected. At this point, the concepts of rights, law, and ethics must be blended with AI to ensure that it is developed and implemented responsibly. This conference emphasizes that artificial intelligence technologies are a power that should be discovered and used not only by scientists and researchers but also by the industry, business world, and public sector. The presentations, discussions, and workshops we will hold here today will reveal where artificial intelligence can reach in the future, in which sectors it will be used more, and how it can transform life. Our conference was shaped by the fact that artificial intelligence touches every discipline. From engineering to medicine, law to education, agriculture to art, the opportunities and innovations offered by artificial intelligence in every field, as well as the ethical and legal responsibilities encountered in these fields, were discussed. In addition, it is critically important for us to establish collaborations that will allow academic studies to be used in practice by merging with sectors and not just in theory. This conference will contribute to the meeting of scientific knowledge produced in the academic world with the needs of the industry and will lead to new business models andprojects. Sector representatives will be able to discover the technologies of the future today by following the scientific studies here more closely. In this process, I would like to remind you again that every technology developed, and every investment made should be shaped within the framework of ethical values. The future of artificial intelligence will not be limited to today's developments. This technology, which heralds an invention and discovery every day, will soon reach the capacity to solve much more complex problems. Building this future is a responsibility we all share. As both academics and industry representatives, our work will continue unabated to further advance the use of artificial intelligence in all areas and to make the world more livable with this technology. However, during this progress, we must use technology responsibly, considering basic ethical principles such as respect for human dignity, justice, privacy, and security. I would like to thank everyone in the organizing committee, as well as our valuable participants. I hope this conference will open new doors for all of us and strengthen knowledge, collaborations, and ethical sensitivities in the artificial intelligence field.
