Definition
In the context of artificial intelligence and technology governance, policies refer to the formalized frameworks that dictate how AI systems should be developed, deployed, and monitored. These documents ensure ethical compliance, safety, and alignment with legal requirements. They cover areas such as data privacy, algorithmic fairness, security protocols, and accountability measures. Unlike technical models, policies are administrative and strategic instruments designed to manage risk and maintain trust among stakeholders and the public.
