Ethical guardrails in AI UX represent the boundaries and safeguards that protect users from potential harms while allowing systems to deliver benefits. These guardrails begin with inclusive design practices:

• Ensure diverse training data and test with varied user groups to prevent models from working well for some populations while failing others.
• Use transparency mechanisms that help users understand when they're interacting with AI versus humans, how the system makes decisions, and what data influences those decisions.
• Consider privacy with clear user controls over what information feeds into models.
• Establish processes for identifying harmful patterns that might emerge as systems learn from user interactions, such as reinforcing stereotypes or facilitating misuse.
• Include mechanisms for user redress when systems cause harm, making it easy to report problems and receive meaningful remediation.
