Abstract (EN)

The aim of this study is to determine the meaning that free will attributes to human beings and artificial intelligence and the relationship between free will and artificial intelligence. It is also to show that a more inclusive perspective can be developed towards the dilemmas of the problem. Before moving on to artificial free will, the definition and history of intelligence and artificial intelligence are analysed. Then, the nature of the problem of free will, which is one of the oldest problems of philosophy, was explained. In doing so, the concepts of determinism, compatibilism and indeterminism were included both within the limits of the study and in order to contribute to the thesis. The solution proposals within each understanding are categorised according to their attitudes towards the problem of free will in the context of the discussions on determinism and indeterminism. However, artificial intelligence has become an important field of study due to the development of science and technology. Artificial intelligence aims to create the cognitive abilities of the human mind, especially the human ability such as free will, in an artificial system. Based on this goal, the main subject of the study was the question of whether artificial intelligence can have free will. As a result of the study, after reaching a general opinion about artificial intelligence and free will, we concluded that even if artificial intelligence is to be assumed to have free will, the closest way to do so is through the principle of probabilities that indeterminism makes room for in the universe.
