About the project
"I plan to develop a policy framework titled “Contextualising Ethical AI in Multicultural Societies: A Multistakeholder and Intercultural Approach.”
This project aims to bridge global AI ethics principles and local implementation through policy analysis, stakeholder mapping, and the integration of social and cultural perspectives. The main output will be a practical toolkit to support governments and organisations in implementing AI in an ethical, inclusive, and context-sensitive manner."
