- PositiveImpact
- The comprehensive framework could enhance the ethical design and use of AI technologies in SMEs, ultimately fostering a culture of responsibility and accountability in AI. This can lead to increased public trust, reducing social media-related harm to youth through fair and transparent AI applications. Empowering SMEs will stimulate economic growth and innovation, creating informed citizens who are better equipped to navigate and critically assess AI applications in their lives.
- NegativeImpact
- The framework may inadvertently favor larger SMEs capable of navigating and implementing the guidelines, thereby marginalizing smaller firms that lack resources. This could create inequities within the SME landscape. Furthermore, overly complex guidelines could lead to non-compliance or confusion, undermining the intended benefits, and leading to social media risks not being adequately addressed.
- Description
- This alternative, while well-intentioned, has significant shortcomings. It may not be broad enough to capture the potential for ethical AI use across all sectors and could leave behind smaller entities unable to meet compliance requirements. The focus on SMEs might also detract from addressing the pressing need for comprehensive measures applicable to all AI stakeholders, especially concerning the protection of youth in the digital landscape.
