The 360° framework connects protection and innovation — offering pragmatic guidelines for gap analysis, stakeholder engagement, and adaptive regulation. It provides a structured approach to minimize risks, ensure legal certainty, and at the same time safeguard the innovative capacity of business and research.
- Three action strands: “Harness past” (review and adapt existing rules), “Build present” (embed roles, responsibilities, and processes for safe use), and “Plan future” (forward-looking, internationally compatible governance, including coordination between regulators, business, and civil society).
- Addressing GenAI-specific risks: Hallucination, bias, IP/copyright issues, security, transparency, explainability, and liability are managed on a risk-based basis — with testing and validation procedures, documentation, incident processes, and effective remediation mechanisms.
- Implementation principles: Interoperability, proportionality, evidence-based design, and innovation support serve as guiding pillars. In practice, this means clear thresholds, tiered obligations, international dialogue formats, and regular updates of regulatory frameworks.
