MEF University AI Policy Version 2.0
By positioning itself as Türkiye’s first Artificial Intelligence (AI) Integrated University, MEF University aims to lead the transformative impact of rapidly developing and proliferating AI technologies in higher education. The document primarily develops fundamental policies for the appropriate and ethical use of AI. In creating these policies, reference has been made to the laws and strategic documents of the Republic of Türkiye as well as the laws and documents of international organizations such as the OECD and the EU. The document then comprehensively defines how MEF University will integrate AI into education, research, and administrative processes.
In the field of education, faculty members are encouraged to integrate AI technologies into the curriculum, assessments, and teaching, while students are supported in using AI as a learning tool. The research area also provides detailed explanations of how faculty members can use AI. In administrative processes, the use of AI is planned to increase efficiency, improve the student experience, and manage resources more effectively. The policy thoroughly addresses the appropriate and ethical use of AI in all these processes and serves as a guiding framework that can set an example for other higher education institutions.
To ensure the effective implementation and oversight of the AI Policy document, an AI Committee comprising experts and stakeholders from various disciplines has been established by the University Senate. This comprehensive policy will be implemented university-wide starting from the 2024-2025 Academic Year and will be regularly updated according to developments.
