Artificial intelligence technologies, which have become an integral part of our daily lives today, can collect data about the behaviors, preferences and private lives of individuals with different methods and make non-intuitive and unverifiable inferences and predictions. These data collection, processing, modification, transfer and inference processes can cause various legal problems. Artificial intelligence technologies pose great risks and problems, especially in the scope of protecting personal data. Artificial intelligence is able to make discriminatory, prejudiced and invasive decisions by making use of diverse and rich personal data that have unforeseen great value. However, although the personal data protection laws are designed to protect the privacy, identity and autonomy of the people, especially the right to be alone, they fall short in protecting the relevant people from the risks brought by Artificial Intelligence technologies. Objective: In the study, it is aimed to find the problems that artificial intelligence applications may cause regarding the protection of personal data and to reveal solutions in general terms. Method: Method: The study is a qualitative study based on the descriptive method. Findings: In the era of artificial intelligence, there have also been fundamental differences in the nature and severity of violations of personal data. Protection of personal data is an issue closely related to other fundamental rights such as personal rights, privacy, moral integrity, honor and dignity of individuals. Decreasing the quality difference between sensitive data and non-sensitive data in the age of artificial intelligence; likewise, the difference between anonymized data and personal data is reduced. In addition to these, the problem of the quality of the inferences and the bias and discriminatory decisions caused by the inferences are another serious problem. Black box and transparency problems of artificial intelligence algorithms are among the next problems waiting to be solved from a technical point of view. The difficulty of identifying the perpetrator of the violation and the technical difficulty and high cost of obtaining the evidence of the violation are among the main problems that arise within the scope of protection of personal data in the era of artificial intelligence. What needs to be done in the face of these problems is that the data is not only regulated during the collection stage, but also the inferences derived from the data are evaluated within the scope of the protection of personal data. Outdated, ineffective and fluid classifications of personal or non-personal and sensitive or non-sensitive data should be abandoned. Originality: Looking at the related studies conducted in Turkey, the study examining the problem of protection of personal data, the problems that may arise from artificial intelligence applications and solution proposals from the perspective of law is original.
