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.

The interpretation phase of life cycle assessment often lacks structured mechanisms for translating quantified improvement opportunities addressing environmental hotspots into actionable strategic pathways under technological, social, and policy uncertainty. To overcome this limitation, this study introduces a perspective-conditioned retrieval-augmented generation framework for LCA interpretation, where a multi-perspective retrieval and controlled synthesis is incorporated in the artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted LCA.
