This research paper introduces the "Hourglass Model," a framework designed to bridge the gap between high-level ethical principles and practical AI governance. The authors argue that while many firms have adopted ethical guidelines, implementing these remains a challenge. The paper details how the model manages the flow from values to technical requirements. It addresses critical issues such as algorithmic bias. This work is essential for policy makers and technical leads.
