Empowering Responsible AI Adoption: A Human-in-the-Loop Framework for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)

Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly recognizing the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to boost efficiency and innovation. However, responsible AI adoption remains a challenge due to limited resources and technical expertise. This research paper addresses this gap by proposing a novel, human-in-the-loop (HiTL) framework specifically designed for SMEs. It builds upon existing literature on AI governance, identifies key challenges faced by SMEs, and presents a practical framework with tangible outputs that can be readily implemented.
