Founded in 2011, Bahçeşehir University Game Lab (BUG) has become the center of the İstanbul game developer community. BUG Lab organized many events like boot camps, hackathons, workshops, etc. focusing on education, communication, and R&D issues of the emerging game scene. Hosting events like Global Game Jam as the main İstanbul site enabled BUG Lab to bridge the game developer community with indu

stry and academia. With this experience and network, BUG Lab evolved into a game design education and production hub. Still, BUG Lab is the one and only game development hub not just in Turkey but among the region with its community-based approach and professional education options such as Game Design BA and MA programs.

🤖🎮 Yapay zekânın oyun sektörünü nasıl dönüştürdüğünü konuşmak üzere Future AI Summit 2026’daydık!

Bahçeşehir Üniversitesi ev sahipliğinde gerçekleşen zirve, yapay zekânın farklı disiplinlerdeki etkisini ele alan birbirinden değerli konuşmacıları, panelleri ve oturumlarıyla son derece başarılı bir organizasyona imza attı. Akademi, girişimcilik ve sektör profesyonellerini aynı çatı altında buluşturan etkinlik, AI ekosisteminin geleceğine dair ilham verici fikirlerin paylaşıldığı önemli bir platform oldu.

BUG Lab olarak moderatörlüğünü üstlendiğimiz “Exploring How AI is Transforming Gaming Industry, Player Experiences, and Game Studies” panelinde; oyun sektöründe yapay zekânın yatırım ekosistemine, oyun geliştirme süreçlerine, oyuncu deneyimlerine ve akademik çalışmalara etkilerini farklı perspektiflerden ele aldık.

Etkinliğimize ve panelimize değerli katkıları için Birol Sülük, Cem Say, Ece Taş ve Dr. Ertuğrul Süngü’ye; organizasyonda emeği geçen herkese teşekkür ederiz.

Yapay zekâ ve oyun teknolojilerinin kesişiminde üretmeye, araştırmaya ve paylaşmaya devam ediyor ve bu vesileyle Barbaros Bostan ve Ertugrul Süngü hocalarımızın editörlüğünü yaptığı “Oyun Çalışmaları ve Yapay Zekâ” kitabımızı hatırlatmak istiyoruz 🚀
