Governing artificial intelligence in Turkish higher education: A critical discourse analysis of institutional policy documents
Year: 2026
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: The findings indicate that Turkish universities share a common ethical discourse that individualizes responsibility for AI use, but differ in how they translate ethical principles into institutional practice. This supports the OECD’s (2026) argument that responsible and systematic adoption requires clear institutional systems rather than reliance on individual responsibility. Universities should develop context-sensitive policies that clarify participation, professional support, monitoring, periodic review, human oversight, and institutional accountability. Such policies are necessary for an ethical and sustainable digital transformation in higher education.
