PositiveImpact The framework could provide SMEs with the necessary tools to conduct ethical AI assessments, leading to reduced bias and discrimination in AI applications. This could foster public trust in AI solutions, encouraging broader adoption of sustainable technologies. Moreover, by integrating ethical considerations and CO2 reduction strategies into product development, SMEs might contribute significantly to lowering carbon footprints associated with AI systems, leading to long-term environmental benefits.

NegativeImpact If the framework is not adequately enforced or supported with sufficient resources, it may lead to inconsistent compliance among SMEs, resulting in a divided landscape of AI applications that still carry risks of bias and harm. Furthermore, a focus on SMEs without addressing larger corporations might inadvertently allow larger entities to exploit these loopholes, leading to increased carbon emissions in the long run. Also, the complexity of compliance could discourage SMEs from innovating, leading to stagnation in sustainable AI advancements.
