    Framework for Ethical Governance of Autonomous AI Systems: Balancing Innovation, Accountability, and Risk Management
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-12-09) Dabare, C; Wijegunasighe, Y; Herath, H; Nethsara, R; Jayasinghe, P
    The advent of rapid deployment of autonomous artificial intelligent systems is a twofold challenge: how to ensure this is happening in an ethical way, and at the same time, how to keep the innovative power. These are already outdated models of governance that render many of these models inadequate in accommodating the risk landscape as well as the applied complexity of autonomous artificial intelligent systems. This paper suggests a new conceptual model of governance that combines ethical standards, risk stratified regulatory feedback and allowing innovation via regulatory sandboxes. Based on a qualitative synthesis of worldwide AI policies, scholarly sources, and background information, the framework provides a hierarchical, modular paradigm that can be applied in different domains and jurisdictions. It focuses on transparency, accountability, fairness and incorporates flexibility of changing technology. The proposed model would play the role of a policymaker, industry practitioners, and researchers strategic road map in finding balanced and operationally feasible solutions in deploying ethical AI.

    Evaluating the Effectiveness of Mind Heaven: A Virtual Reality Meditation Solution based on Theravāda Buddhist Practices
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-12-09) Dabare, C; Arachchi, D.C.T
    In modern urban life, stress and anxiety are prevalent due to fast-paced environments and limited access to tranquil spaces. Buddhist meditation, known for its therapeutic effects, often requires calm settings that are hard to access in urban areas and some of these kinds of environments might experience unexpected accidents as well. This research presents a Virtual Reality (VR)-based personalized Buddhist meditation application call Mind Heaven, aimed at stress reduction and mental relaxation. The application evaluates users' moods before and after meditation, offering individualized meditative environments based on users' emotional states. Through collaboration with Theravāda Buddhist monks in Sri Lanka, the system integrates authentic meditative guidance. Additionally, smartwatch-based physiological stress tracking and post-session survey are used to verify user feedback. The pilot evaluation with twenty participants indicates mood improvement and stress reduction in indicators. This study demonstrates the potential of immersive VR in mental wellness, paving the way for future integration with brain-computer interfaces and diversified meditation techniques.
