I work with people and institutions to make sense of where artificial intelligence is going—and how it can support human flourishing now and into the future. Currently, I am an Advanced Artificial Intelligence Researcher at Center for Future Generations and also one of the cofounders of AI Safety Türkiye. I facilitated AI Governance courses for both Bluedot Impact and AI Safety Türkiye. I completed my MA in Quantitative Methods in Social Sciences in Columbia University. BS in Industrial Engineering and Psychology in Sabanci University.
Research spotlight: Policy recommendations on compute governance featured for the G7 summit
I am also a published author of two novels Maskeli Kedi, Antika Adam (available in English: Ancient Man) and a children’s book, Kendi Yolunda, which is a non-profit project to encourage young readers overcome gender biases towards what professions they imagine for themselves.
