- PositiveImpact
- The framework for SMEs could lead to a strong ethical foundation in AI development, thereby creating a generation of responsible developers who prioritize social well-being and educational opportunities. This would foster a more informed society that can effectively engage with AI technologies, leading to advancements in education and career paths associated with AI, enhancing overall economic growth.
- NegativeImpact
- If the framework fails to address the complexities of ethical AI considerations or is poorly implemented, it could perpetuate existing inequalities in access to quality education and resources, especially for marginalized communities. Moreover, it could confuse SMEs regarding compliance, leading to non-compliance and further eroding public trust in AI technologies.
- Description
- The proposed alternative, while well-meaning, could result in limited benefits due to its narrow focus on SMEs without addressing comprehensive educational strategies or broader systemic issues. Current evidence suggests that without robust guidelines and support systems, some SMEs may struggle to adhere to the framework, undermining the intention of fostering an equitable AI landscape.
