Dr. Balamurugan Balusamy, Dean, School of Engineering and Information Technology at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), Dubai, has been featured in the September 2026 edition of The AI Times with a contributed comment on the practical requirements of ethical artificial intelligence.
In his contribution, Dr. Balamurugan highlights that ethical AI must go beyond being treated as a one-time compliance requirement. He emphasises that accountability should be embedded throughout the AI lifecycle, with clear individual responsibility at every stage of development, deployment and use.
Drawing a parallel with cybersecurity, he notes that responsible AI requires continuous oversight and sustained organisational commitment rather than a one-off certification exercise. His perspective also underlines the importance of investing in responsible design, diverse data and governance frameworks that help build long-term trust in AI systems.
