Abstract
The rapid, unpredictable advancements in AI system capabilities has seen regulators take adaptive and experimental approaches to policymaking. Established in other domains as instruments balancing regulation with innovation, regulatory sandboxes are seen as solutions for AI regulation. However, analyses mostly focus on the legal and institutional design of AI Regulatory Sandboxes (AIRSes). With the legal framework leaving the socio-technical interpretation to stakeholders, this creates a gap on the sense-making required to fulfill the AIRS purpose. In this paper, we approach this by designing a Boundary Negotiating Artifact as a way to mediate meaning in AIRSes. Through Research-through-Design we iteratively develop a tool, providing an interface for the different stakeholders to collaborate in AI assessment. We then position it as technical backbone in established AIRS frameworks, structuring the collaborative sense-making of the involved stakeholders. We further report the insights gained from our design process leaving the qualitative evaluation for future work.
