    The AI Ethics and Integrity Officer (AEIO): a new guardian for human rights and responsible AI governance
    (Universul Juridic Publishing House, 2025-09-23) Crisan, Daniel Alexandru
    The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) necessitates the creation of a specialized governance role to ensure ethical integrity and human rights compliance. This paper proposes the establishment of the AI Ethics and Integrity Officer (AEIO) as a dedicated oversight figure within both public and private entities utilizing AI technologies. The AEIO would serve as a generator of good practices and a guardian for AI ethics, fulfilling three key responsibilities: (1) reviewing and advising on all AI-related activities to align with ethical and legal standards; (2) ensuring organizational compliance with human rights frameworks and industry regulations; and (3) overseeing whistleblower channels while reporting severe or repeated infractions to the appropriate authorities. Methodologically, this paper examines existing AI governance frameworks, evaluates gaps in ethical oversight, regarding how the AEIO could reinforce accountability, transparency, and public trust. The findings highlight the necessity of a structured, independent role to mitigate AI-related risks and promote responsible innovation. This study concludes that the institutionalization of the AEIO would enhance ethical governance, safeguard fundamental rights, and foster a more sustainable and equitable AI ecosystem.
