<h1>Young Buddhist scholars call for compassionate, culturally sensitive AI frameworks to guide corporate governance and liability</h1> Young Buddhist scholars and religious organizations advocated for development of ethically guided artificial intelligence at an international conference, urging frameworks that embed compassion, empathy and cultural sensitivity into AI design. The proposals highlight potential legal and regulatory implications for corporate governance, product liability, compliance with data- and AI-specific rules, and duties under emerging national AI legislation and sectoral regulators. Calls for inclusive, tradition-respecting technology may prompt regulatory guidance, standards-setting by industry bodies, and increased due diligence by companies and financial regulators to ensure AI systems meet ethical, cultural-heritage and consumer-protection obligations.
