AI Contextual Framework: A Zoning Approach to Ethical AI Deployment

Abstract

Drawing on the real-world pressing need for ethical AI governance, this extended abstract proposes a contextual framework using a zoning approach to guide AI deployment: adaptation zones, non-adaptation zones, and hybrid zones. Beyond its practical implications, this framework also raises a deeper societal question: As we advance toward an era of superintelligence and pervasive automation, is a fully automated society truly compatible with human nature and long-term well-being?
