Global Index on Responsible AI Launches in July

The sociotechnological challenge of AI is growing. Corporates are automating their processes taking advantage of AI regulatory gaps. Setting public guardrails for algorithmic systems will not only help protect the employment market but also promote the ethical use of AI systems. I am glad to be contributing to this local evidence-based report, shedding light on how global governments are responding to these algorithmic realities in the work environment.

On 12 May 2026, the Global AI Center POLLYPRIANY took part in the United Nations 🇺🇳 Third Informal Stakeholder Consultation on the Global Dialogue on Artificial Intelligence Governance. For us, the key question is no longer whether AI should be governed. The real question is whether humanity still has the legal courage to govern it today — when some of the consequences thereof have already become irreversible. Ungoverned AI does not remain neutral. It may become #DarkAI — opaque, unaccountable, structurally invasive, and harmful to human dignity. Dark AI is not merely a technological risk. It is a legal condition in which algorithmic systems begin to operate beyond transparency, beyond accountability, beyond meaningful human oversight, and, in practical terms, beyond the protective reach of human rights law. This is precisely why AI governance must be treated as a matter of constitutional necessity. This constitutional necessity is not theoretical — and it has never been. Many of the risks we had previously prognosticated are now becoming visible in real time: the erosion of trust in AI; the weakening of human-rights safeguards; growing scepticism, fear, and even hostility towards AI among younger generations and adults alike; public exhaustion with AI-generated content; and the exploitation of regulatory lacunae by malicious actors who use ungoverned systems for manipulation, deception, surveillance, and social harm. At the Global AI Center POLLYPRIANY, our position remains clear: we continue to advance the necessity of the #AIConstitution as a constitutional legal framework for safeguarding the human person in the age of #AI. Because the danger of unregulated AI is not only that it may become powerful. Unregulated AI may operate under the radar — shaping human lives without transparency, accountability, lawful oversight, or effective remedy.

A strong final session for day one at #GRMF2026 NSW looking at the foundations of AI implementation and what it means for investment and decision-making. Chaired by Daniel Popovski, JD (Governance Institute of Australia), Tobias J. Schulz, Nicola D. and Llewellyn Spink (UTS Human Technology Institute) explored the building blocks of AI, from automation and augmentation through to amplification, and how each shapes capability and impact.  A key takeaway was that AI is not just about efficiency. It is about how humans and technology work together to improve insight, strengthen decision-making and rethink strategy. Just as important was the focus on ethics, governance and guardrails to ensure these tools are used responsibly and effectively. A thoughtful way to close the day, with a clear message that successful AI adoption depends as much on governance and judgement as it does on technology. #GRMF #GRMF2026 #AnotherGoodDecision

The world is racing to build AI systems. Nobody is building AI accountability. That gap the AI Accountability Vacuum is the most dangerous governance deficit of our time. AI is making decisions about your health, your finances, your liberty, your future. And when those decisions go wrong, there is no law, no regulator, no remedy, no redress. This is not an accident. It is a choice. And it is a choice the world must reverse urgently. In this video, I share why the AI Accountability Vacuum is the defining legal crisis of the 21st century and what the Duggal Doctrine's ten foundational principles offer as the normative path forward. The question is no longer whether AI needs accountability. The question is whether the world will act before the harm becomes irreversible.

Without safeguards, AI, the new hot-topic for the last 4 years, risks reinforcing existing inequalities — In the instances where AI systems are built about developing countries, rather than with them. The future of AI must include: - Ethical data governance. - Local ownership and consent. - Fair economic participation. - Investments in digital infrastructure. - Capacity-building for local AI talent. Transparent partnerships between governments, academia, and industry. AI should empower nations to leapfrog development challenges, not deepen digital dependency.  #AI #DataGovernance #DigitalTransformation #DataSovereignty #ArtificialIntelligence #GlobalDevelopment #EthicalAI #Innovation #LDCs #TechnologyForGood https://lnkd.in/enFvMkpU

𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺. LIRNEasia Junior Researcher Vishmila Fernando, in her latest blog article, discusses the emerging concept of ‘AI fiduciaries’. The notion that companies behind advanced AI systems may occupy a position of trust, carrying duties of good faith and fair dealing. Not only toward individual users, but also toward the wider public affected by their technologies. She questions what it means to uphold such a duty when it collides with political pressure, state power, contractual obligations, and the realities of high-stakes deployment.   Moving beyond the familiar framing of humans versus machines, Vishmila instead turns attention to the more complex relationships among the humans who build, deploy, and govern these technologies.   Read her full article here: https://lnkd.in/gycxX9qY   #ResponsibleAI #AIFiduciaries #AIAccountability #EthicalAI #LIRNEasia

AI Governance and Human Values: Reflections on the “The Greatness of Humanity” framework The recent 40+ page doctrinal document “The Greatness of Humanity” released by Pope Leo XIV offers a structured ethical reflection on artificial intelligence and its societal implications. Rather than rejecting technological progress, the document raises three key governance concerns: AI as Power Infrastructure AI systems are no longer neutral tools; they increasingly shape access to information, opportunities, and institutional decisions. Human-Centered Technological Development Efficiency alone cannot be the guiding principle. Human dignity, agency, and responsibility must remain central in system design. Risk of Black-Box Governance and Social Dependency Algorithmic opacity, data exploitation, and over-reliance on synthetic interaction may gradually weaken human judgment and social cohesion, especially among younger generations. From a policy perspective, the document echoes ongoing global debates on AI governance: transparency requirements accountability of AI systems protection of minors human-in-the-loop decision frameworks Ultimately, the key question is not whether AI will replace humans, but how societies define the boundaries of automation within human responsibility. Technological progress is inevitable. Ethical governance is optional—but essential. #AIGovernance #AIEthics #DigitalTransformation #HumanCenteredAI #Policy #TechnologyLeadership

📢 NEW BLOG POST - VISIONS OF AI With the EU and India’s shared priorities on AI being fairly established, our Head of Communications Avtansh Behal looks at the contrasting case of the United States pushing for ‘lighter’ regulation on AI. Why is Washington making this choice, and what can the EU and India do about it? Looking into American technological history, Avtansh examines how this approach to AI has clear forerunners, and how it continues with Washington’s long-standing positions on tech policy, some of which go back decades. Is the US already missing a complete change in context with AI? In answering the question, the piece makes two recommendations, calling on the EU and India to urgently start considering a unified framework for AI governance.

AI policy is only useful when organisations can translate it into practice. The provisional agreement on the Digital Omnibus on AI is an important step towards clearer and more proportionate regulation. But across sectors, many organisations are still waiting for the practical standards, guidance and codes of practice that will allow them to move forward with confidence. That gap between regulatory intent and real-world implementation is exactly where collaboration matters. AI² is bringing together people with experience in technical standards, governance and responsible AI adoption to help close that gap and support practical progress in Ireland. Our first workshop takes place in Dublin on 28 May.

Delighted this initiative is taking shape. Its essential to make a start now, embrace the difficulty and understand how best to implement all aspects of an AI Regulatory Sandbox. A critical element for our national AI competitiveness.
