Abstract

This study examines the intricate relationships between artificial intelligence (AI) and family dynamics, considering both the technology's benefits and drawbacks, particularly in the context of Turkey. Every element of daily life will be impacted by AI by 2025, including communication, routines, and family finances. Artificial intelligence (AI) enhances family productivity and may result in higher family income and more quality time by reducing household chores, enabling remote employment and education, and offering individualised learning and healthcare support. However, there are many problems with AI, including the possibility of social isolation due to excessive screen time, algorithmic biases that affect family choices, privacy concerns arising from data collection, and digital inequality caused by high costs. High inflation in Turkey is driving the adoption of AI, while income inequality exacerbates the digital gap. According to the study, policies that promote equitable access, robust data security, and responsible AI use are crucial. To ensure sustained prosperity in the AI era while preserving family unity, future research should focus on the long-term, culturally sensitive consequences in Turkey.

Özet

Bu çalışma, özellikle Türkiye bağlamında, yapay zekâ ve aile dinamikleri arasındaki karmaşık ilişkileri, teknolojinin hem avantajlarını hem de dezavantajlarını göz önünde bulundurarak incelemektedir. 2025 yılına kadar, iletişim, rutinler ve aile finansmanı dahil olmak üzere günlük yaşamın her unsuru yapay zekanın etkisinde kalacaktır. Yapay zekâ, ev işlerini azaltarak, uzaktan çalışma ve eğitime olanak tanıyarak ve kişiselleştirilmiş öğrenme ve sağlık desteği sunarak aile üretkenliğini artırır ve daha yüksek aile geliri ve daha kaliteli zaman geçirilmesini sağlayabilir. Ancak yapay zekâ ile ilgili bir dizi sorun da bulunmaktadır. Bunlar arasında aşırı ekran süresine bağlı sosyal izolasyon olasılığı, aile seçimlerini etkileyen algoritmik önyargılar, veri toplama kaynaklı gizlilik endişeleri ve yüksek maliyetlerin neden olduğu dijital eşitsizlik sayılabilir. Türkiye'deki yüksek enflasyon, yapay zekânın benimsenmesini teşvik ederken, gelir eşitsizliği dijital uçurumu daha da derinleştiriyor. Çalışmaya göre, eşit erişimi, sağlam veri güvenliğini ve sorumlu yapay zekâ kullanımını teşvik eden politikalar çok önemlidir. Yapay zekâ çağında sürdürülebilir refahı sağlamak ve aile birliğini korumak için, gelecekteki araştırmalar Türkiye'deki uzun vadeli, kültürel açıdan duyarlı sonuçlara odaklanmalıdır.
