Abstract:
Background/Context:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are progressing at an unprecedented pace,
revolutionizing sectors such as healthcare, finance, education, and security. However, this growth
brings with it increasing risks—ranging from data privacy breaches and algorithmic bias to the
possibility of autonomous systems making unsafe or unethical decisions. Without structured
oversight, these risks may compromise human safety and public trust.
Research Problem/Objective:
This study investigates the critical need for regulatory frameworks to ensure that AI development
and deployment prioritize human safety, ethical alignment, and accountability. The research aims
to identify current gaps in global AI governance and propose practical solutions to mitigate risks
associated with unregulated AI growth.
Methods/Approach:
A qualitative research approach was adopted. The study involved a comprehensive literature
review of international AI policies, analysis of ethical guidelines proposed by major tech bodies,
and case studies of AI applications with significant safety implications. Expert commentaries and
regulatory proposals from governmental and non-governmental organizations were also
examined.
Results/Findings:
The analysis revealed significant disparities in AI regulation across countries and a general lack
of enforceable standards. Key issues identified include insufficient algorithmic transparency,
poor accountability mechanisms, and inadequate involvement of interdisciplinary stakeholders in
AI governance. Notably, ethical concerns are often overlooked in favor of technological
performance and innovation speed.
Conclusion/Implications:
The findings highlight an urgent need for a globally coordinated regulatory approach that
integrates ethical principles, transparency requirements, and compliance checks. A proposed
multi-tiered regulatory model includes periodic ethical audits, algorithm certification protocols,
and the establishment of international oversight bodies. Implementing such a framework would
not only reduce safety risks but also build public trust and promote responsible AI innovation.
Future research should focus on testing the practical application of these models across
industries.
