The Vizyon 100 - 6th Digital CEO and Leaders Summit, held in Çeşme and opened with a keynote speech by the Minister of Trade of the Republic of Turkey, Prof. Dr. Ömer Bolat, brought together nearly 500 top executives along with global leaders. ÜÇGE Chairpersons Damla Aras, Can Aras, and Group Companies CEO Esra Güven were present at this significant event.
This year’s summit theme, “Metal Collar (AI)”, closely examined the role of artificial intelligence in the business world and its societal impacts. Critical topics, such as how AI can coexist effectively with humans in business, its potential to create new job sectors, and the ethical boundaries that must be set, were discussed at the summit.
ÜÇGE Chairwoman Damla Aras moderated the “Retail, Healthcare, and Services” session during the summit, using the metaphor of “The Balanced Dance Between Yin and Yang” to summarize the opportunities and risks posed by artificial intelligence. She emphasized that, when used correctly, AI presents a tremendous opportunity for humanity, but this transformation must be managed responsibly within an ethical framework.
In the session moderated by Damla Aras, distinguished speakers such as Pasquale Forte, President and CEO of Eldor Corporation, Akın Palazoğlu, CEO of Martin Bauer Turkey, Hulusi Acar, CEO of MediaMarkt Turkey, Gamze Arbak, General Manager of Philips Turkey, Gökalp Bahçeli, CEO of Yatsan, Mine Taşkaya, CEO of GTech, and Kuntay Özkan, Commercial Director of Jain Farm Fresh Turkey, shared the latest developments in artificial intelligence and provided valuable insights to the summit.
