The Problem: Challenges in AI Governance
Artificial Intelligence technologies, including machine learning, large language models, and predictive analytics, are powerful tools that offer significant opportunities. However, they also pose risks:
- Bias and Discrimination: AI systems may unintentionally reinforce biases, leading to unfair outcomes.
- Privacy and Security Risks: Sensitive data can be exposed or misused without proper safeguards.
- Lack of Accountability: Without clear governance structures, organizations may struggle to ensure ethical oversight.
- Regulatory Uncertainty: The fast-changing regulatory landscape demands policies that are adaptable and forward-looking.
Karma Advisory’s Solution: The Three-Pillar Framework
Karma Advisory’s Responsible AI Framework is built around three core pillars that provide a robust foundation for AI governance:

2. Algorithmic Transparency and Fairness
