Abstract

Purpose

As the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) expands, its societal implications soar. Today, society actively debates its rollout – yet such discourse often permeates news articles and social media unobjectively and without rigorous peer review.

Findings

This robust framework addresses challenges, mitigates potential risks and harnesses AI opportunities for our shared future.

Originality/value

A policy-techno-legal framework for understanding key AI challenges and foundations for building AI guardrails.
