Shaping the AI Sandbox Ecosystem for the Intelligent Age 2025

Creating enablers through AI sandboxes3 Existing AI sandboxes around the world have been instrumental in creating one or more of the enablers specified in the previous section. AI sandboxes can create one or more of the five AI enablers for AI start-ups and solution developers.The focus areas of AI sandboxes in Table 1 broadly fall in two categories – AI enablers and AI guardrails.
