A writer at the intersection of AI, climate, and institutions
Arda Öztaşkın is a writer and communications executive working at the intersection of artificial intelligence, sustainability, and systems thinking. He has led corporate communications, brand strategy, and social impact functions for more than two decades at leading Turkish institutions.
His column appears weekly in Ekonomi Gazetesi; his essays and contributions are published in Harvard Business Review Türkiye and on Smart Sustainability, the English section of his platform. He writes about the collision of AI, climate, and institutional trust — and coins the vocabulary that collision needs.
He is the author of three books: The Loneliness Economy (2026), Artificial Intelligence: The Two Faces of Power (2024), and Not a Climate Crisis — a Humanity Crisis (2023).
