Abstract
In today's world, artificial intelligence is increasingly gaining attention due to its ability to solve many real-world problems. This technology has penetrated various fields such as medicine, banking, and manufacturing. Despite the significant expansion of artificial intelligence in these fields, it does not have a prominent position in law yet. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly driving advances in technology and business. It is widely used in various industries and the effects of artificial intelligence can be found in almost every aspect of creativity. The development of artificial intelligence is facilitated by large volumes of data and increasing available computing power. Legislators should make the necessary effort to identify it, especially since artificial intelligence has brought various aspects of the legal world under its influence, such as competition and business rights. In competition law, we try to make a fair balance in obtaining profit and economic benefit between different words, but this new technology has challenged the principles of competition law in practice. it should not be interpreted as a legal problem. We should obtain maximum utilization by creating a peaceful legal coexistence between these two institutions. This paper seeks to investigate the existing gaps by comparative study.
