A conference titled "Artificial Intelligence, Design, and Human Centeredness" was held at Ayvalık

Vocational School. Organized by Lecturer Gülşah Yetgin Gözüaçık with the contributions of Lecturer Hayri Taşkır as part of the Architectural Restoration Program at Ayvalık Vocational School, the event aimed to introduce students to contemporary approaches in the fields of artificial intelligence and design, and to help them understand how digital developments are reflected in professional practices.

As a speaker at the conference, Dr. Ladin Yıldıran delivered a presentation in which she clearly explained the role of artificial intelligence in design processes, the importance of human-centered thinking, and the impact of digital transformation on working methods. The examples she shared helped students better grasp the relationship between design and technology.

Throughout the event, students had the opportunity to explore different design approaches, gain insight into current applications, and relate this knowledge to their own professional fields. During the Q&A session, students were able to ask questions about topics they were curious about and engage in an open and interactive discussion environment.

The conference, held with the strong participation of the Ayvalık Vocational School administration, academic staff, and students, was a productive event that contributed to students’ professional development.

At the end of the conference, a certificate of appreciation and flowers were presented to Dr. Ladin Yıldıran by the Director of our Vocational School, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yakup Dinç, in recognition of her sharing her knowledge and experience with the academic staff and students.
