Concerns over responsible AI have risen sharply alongside AI adoption, and global policymakers are rapidly formalizing AI rules to mitigate societal, technical and commercial challenges. Realizing the transformational potential of AI means distinguishing genuine matters of concern from ‘phantom’ risks, and enabling continued progress with appropriate legal frameworks, compliance protocols and ethical guardrails.
