The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionised immersive experiences across various domains, including education, entertainment, and immersive training environments. However, this convergence raises critical ethical concerns and challenges related to AI Governance, such as user manipulation, data privacy, and societal biases. This study examines these issues through the lens of the European Union’s AI Act, the first comprehensive AI legislation globally, which categorises AI systems by their risk levels and imposes tailored requirements to ensure ethical and transparent use. By exploring how this legislation applies to AI-powered VR, the study highlights its implications for developers, designers, and users while emphasising the need to balance innovation with ethical responsibility. A proposed modular architecture is introduced to guide the development of AI systems in VR, addressing challenges such as inclusivity, data privacy, transparency, and risk management. This conceptual framework offers a comprehensive approach for enhancing transparency, risk mitigation, and user-centric design, ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act and promoting ethical innovation in AI-powered VR. By advocating for responsible design, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on creating ethical, safe, and user-centric AI-powered VR systems that respect fundamental rights and societal values.

摘要

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Virtual Reality (VR) has revolutionised immersive experiences across various domains, including education, entertainment, and immersive training environments. However, this convergence raises critical ethical concerns and challenges related to AI Governance, such as user manipulation, data privacy, and societal biases. This study examines these issues through the lens of the European Union’s AI Act, the first comprehensive AI legislation globally, which categorises AI systems by their risk levels and imposes tailored requirements to ensure ethical and transparent use. By exploring how this legislation applies to AI-powered VR, the study highlights its implications for developers, designers, and users while emphasising the need to balance innovation with ethical responsibility. A proposed modular architecture is introduced to guide the development of AI systems in VR, addressing challenges such as inclusivity, data privacy, transparency, and risk management. This conceptual framework offers a comprehensive approach for enhancing transparency, risk mitigation, and user-centric design, ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act and promoting ethical innovation in AI-powered VR. By advocating for responsible design, this study aims to contribute to the ongoing discourse on creating ethical, safe, and user-centric AI-powered VR systems that respect fundamental rights and societal values.
