Yapay Zeka ve Refah Devleti: Esping-Andersen Tipolojisinin Teknolojik Dönüşüm Çağında Yeniden Değerlendirilmesi
Synopsis
This chapter examines the implications of artificial intelligence and automation for the welfare state through the theoretical framework of Esping-Andersen’s welfare regime typology. Drawing on a systematic review of the literature, it explores how technological transformation reshapes employment relations, income distribution, social security systems, and social policy. By comparing the adaptive capacities of liberal, conservative-corporatist, and social democratic welfare regimes, the chapter critically evaluates the continuing relevance of traditional welfare models in addressing emerging social risks. Particular attention is devoted to the challenges associated with the platform economy, precarious employment, algorithmic decision-making, and technological unemployment. The chapter also examines Turkey’s social policy framework and its capacity to respond to technological change. Policy alternatives, including lifelong learning, reskilling initiatives, universal basic income, social protection for platform workers, and algorithmic accountability, are discussed as potential responses to these transformations. Ultimately, the chapter highlights the need to reconsider and adapt welfare state institutions to ensure social justice, inclusive social protection, and equitable access to welfare in an increasingly AI-driven society.
