Description: The ‘Welfare Framework’ is a structured approach that seeks to assess and improve the wellbeing impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This framework focuses on ensuring that the development and implementation of AI are not only efficient and effective but also promote human and social wellbeing. It is based on ethical principles that consider the impact of AI on people’s lives, communities, and the environment. By integrating wellbeing into the design and evaluation of AI systems, it aims to mitigate risks such as discrimination, privacy invasion, and misinformation. This approach also promotes transparency and accountability, ensuring that decisions made by AI systems are understandable and fair. In a world where AI is increasingly present in various sectors, from healthcare to education and transportation, the ‘Welfare Framework’ becomes an essential tool for guiding developers and policymakers in creating technologies that benefit society as a whole.
