WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?

Fostering trust by requiring AI systems to be transparent and explainable enables users to understand how they work and why certain decisions are made. This transparency enhances accountability and helps build trust among users, consumers, and stakeholders. Additionally, AI governance frameworks address issues of fairness, privacy, security, and compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, thereby mitigating risks and ensuring that AI technologies benefit society while minimizing potential harms. Overall, AI governance is essential for promoting responsible innovation, building trust, and safeguarding against the negative impacts of AI technologies on individuals and society as a whole.
