Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts

The paper titled "Lost in Translation: How Universal Ethical Values Fail to Translate Across Global Contexts" examines how AI ethics frameworks that assume values such as fairness, transparency, and accountability are universal actually differ in practice. By interviewing 14 experts from 10 countries, the authors find that these values are reinterpreted to fit local moral logics—privacy becomes collective, transparency becomes trust‑building, and fairness becomes equity in access—revealing translation gaps between global frameworks and local practices. The study proposes plural governance pathways that redistribute epistemic authority and treat ethical negotiation as an ongoing, context‑sensitive process.

Position: AI Governance Needs ISO-like Interoperability Protocols, Not Just Laws

The paper argues that AI governance should rely on ISO-like interoperability protocols rather than solely on jurisdiction-specific laws. It proposes standardized AI nutrition labels that include metrics for bias, energy usage, and data provenance to enable machine‑readable risk communication across borders. These protocols aim to reduce regulatory fragmentation, lower barriers for SMEs, and build public trust while allowing modular evolution with technology.
