Legal Security and Strategic Compliance in the AI Era

Artificial intelligence is not just code; it's a "legal entity candidate" with legal consequences. In this era where technology's pace surpasses law's speed, every line of your algorithm is a potential liability area.

At Rona Legal, we provide proactive (preventive) legal services: We intervene before problems arise. With our expertise in the EU AI Act, algorithmic liability, generative AI copyright litigation, and deepfake regulations, we build the legal infrastructure for your technology companies.

Our Services and Expertise Areas

EU AI Act Consulting

The EU AI Act, adopted by the European Union in 2024 and coming into full effect from 2026, is the first comprehensive legislation regulating AI systems by risk level.

Conformity Assessment for High-Risk AI Systems

We assess legal compliance of high-risk systems such as biometric identification, critical infrastructure management, credit scoring, and hiring algorithms.

Technical Documentation and Risk Management Systems

Preparation of technical documentation mandated by the AI Act, establishment of risk management systems, and creation of continuous monitoring mechanisms.

"Brussels Effect" and Turkish Exporters

Compliance obligation analysis for Turkish companies offering AI products to the EU market. Even if you're outside the EU, if you process EU citizen data or serve the EU market, the law applies to you.

⚠️ Warning: AI Act violations carry revenue-based fines (up to 7% of global revenue or €35 million).

Generative AI and Intellectual Property

Copyright issues created by LLMs and image generation models like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion are becoming increasingly complex.

Prompt Engineering and Copyright Protection

Status of AI-generated content under copyright law. While purely AI-generated content is not considered a work, hybrid works with human intervention and editing may receive protection.

Model Training and Data Mining Risks

Use of copyrighted works in training data processes. Class action lawsuits against companies like OpenAI and Stability AI, and precedent decisions in Turkey.

Software and Algorithm Registration Processes

Patent applications, trade secret protection, and know-how strategies. Protection of AI models as "inventions."

Data Ethics and Algorithmic Transparency

Making "black box" algorithms transparent and ensuring compliance with anti-discrimination laws.

Explainability of "Black Box" Algorithms

GDPR and AI Act explainability requirements. Mandatory especially for AI systems used in credit, employment, and legal decision processes.

AI Bias and Anti-Discrimination Compliance

Algorithmic discrimination lawsuits: Legal liability and audit processes for models producing biased results in protected categories such as race, gender, and religion.

Deepfake and Synthetic Media Law

The impact of audio and video manipulation technologies on personal rights and criminal liability.

Protection of Personal Rights and Criminal Complaints

Legal proceedings against individuals and platforms using deepfakes under Turkish Criminal Code provisions (unlawful recording of personal data, defamation, violation of privacy).

Transparency Obligations

The AI Act and developing national legislation mandate that synthetic content be marked with "AI-Generated" labels.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Will my company be affected by the EU AI Act?

Yes, if you process EU citizen data or offer products to the EU market, the law applies to you. Especially for high-risk systems (biometric identification, credit scoring, hiring algorithms), heavy fines (revenue-based, up to 7% or €35 million) are applicable.

💡 Rona Legal Recommendation: Get a compliance assessment immediately. Penalty risk will escalate after 2026.

❓ Do I own the copyright to articles I write with ChatGPT?

Under Turkish law, a work must bear the author's "personality" (traces of individuality). While purely AI-generated content is not considered a work, hybrid works with human intervention and editing may receive protection.

💡 Practical Solution: Document your prompt and editing process. If you can prove your "creative contribution" level, you can claim protection as a hybrid work.

❓ Our AI system was sued for alleged discrimination. What should we do?

Algorithmic discrimination lawsuits are increasing. The first step is to have your model performance undergo an independent audit. Bias detection and fairness testing reports form the basis of your defense.

💡 Rona Legal Service: Working with technical experts, we prepare your algorithm's audit report and build your legal defense strategy.
