AI Ethics, Transparency, Fairness, Accountability, Governance, Explainable AI, Risk Management, Responsible AIAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems increasingly shape critical decisions in society. This paper analyzes global frameworks for AI ethics and transparency, including the IEEE. Ethically Aligned Design, the EU AI Act, UNESCO’s Ethics of AI, OECD AI Principles, and NIST AI Risk Management Framework. It identifies enforcement and coherence gaps, then proposes an Integrated Ethical Transparency (IET) Model that combines governance oversight, technical explainability, and societal accountability. The paper also evaluates the measurable benefits of transparency audits and discusses how multidisciplinary collaboration fosters trustworthy AI
