Destek Süreçlerinde Üretken Yapay Zekânın (ÜYZ) Sorumlu ve Güvenilir Kullanımı Rehberi

TÜBİTAK, yapay zekâ teknolojilerindeki hızlı gelişmelerin araştırma süreçlerine etkilerini dikkate alarak "Destek Süreçlerinde Üretken Yapay Zekânın (ÜYZ) Sorumlu ve Güvenilir Kullanımı Rehberini" hazırlamıştır. Rehber, özellikle büyük dil modelleri gibi ÜYZ araçlarının sunduğu fırsatların yanı sıra, yanlış bilgi üretimi, veri gizliliği ihlalleri, fikri mülkiyet sorunları ve etik riskler gibi zorlukları da ele almaktadır.

Rehberde, başvuru sahipleri için ÜYZ kullanımına dair kurallar detaylı şekilde açıklanmıştır. Literatür özetleme, dil desteği, kodlama yardımı veya görselleştirme gibi destekleyici amaçlarla ÜYZ kullanılabilir; ancak her durumda içeriğin doğruluğu, özgünlüğü ve etik uygunluğundan başvuru sahipleri sorumludur. Gizli verilerin ÜYZ araçlarına girilmesi kesinlikle yasaktır. Ayrıca, proje hazırlıklarında ÜYZ’nin “önemli ölçüde” kullanılması durumunda bu durumun şeffaf biçimde beyan edilmesi zorunlu tutulmaktadır.

Değerlendiriciler için ise daha katı bir kural getirilmiş; gizlilik, tarafsızlık ve bilimsel bütünlüğü korumak amacıyla değerlendirme süreçlerinde ÜYZ araçlarının kullanımı tamamen yasaklanmıştır. Rehber ayrıca, uygulanma, izleme ve güncellenme mekanizmalarını da tanımlamakta; tüm paydaşlara net sorumluluklar yüklemektedir. Böylece TÜBİTAK, yapay zekâ çağında bilimsel araştırma ve destek süreçlerinin etik, güvenilir ve şeffaf biçimde yürütülmesini garanti altına almayı hedeflemektedir.

Destek Süreçlerinde Üretken Yapay Zekânın (ÜYZ) Sorumlu ve Güvenilir Kullanımı Rehberine aşağıdaki bağlantıdan erişebilirsiniz.

Application Method
  • Applications are submitted online by the project coordinator via the TÜBİTAK TYBS. The project coordinator is responsible for ensuring that the files uploaded to the electronic application system are accessible and accurate. The system closes to submissions at the end of business hours (17:30) on the application deadline. Documents sent to BİDEB via e-mail, postal mail, or fax—other than the online application—will not be evaluated and will be destroyed.

  • Applicants must declare that the information they provide in the system is accurate and that they will comply with the programme requirements. Educational information is verified through online systems.

  • During the application, academic advisor information is displayed through online systems. Academic access information is first checked through YÖKSİS (Higher Education Information System) and then through TÜBİTAK ARBİS (Researcher Information System) systems. Therefore, the academic information in these two calendars must be up to date.

  • Following the final confirmation of the application by the project coordinator in the system, the project application details and attachments are sent in read-only format to the academic advisor’s registered e-mail address for ‘advisor approval’. At this stage, the academic advisor must confirm that the information entered by the project coordinator is accurate, that they accept the advisory role, that the scientific/technological field selected for evaluation is correct, that departmental facilities are sufficient, and that programme obligations will be met.

  • If the academic advisor does not approve the project during this stage and returns it through the TÜBİTAK TYBS, the student must make the necessary revisions and resubmit the project for the advisor’s approval.

  • If the academic advisor approves the project within the given timeframe, the application is forwarded for the signature of the authorised official of the university where the project coordinator is enrolled. Once the authorised official signs the application (via https://eimza.tubitak.gov.tr), the application is considered valid.

  • Monitoring these processes is the responsibility of both the project coordinator and the academic advisor.

  • To withdraw an application, a signed petition must be submitted electronically to BİDEB (bideb2209a@tubitak.gov.tr). Application withdrawal requests may be submitted within one (1) month following the call closing date.”
