Human cognitive limitations render algorithmic bias inevitable and persistent across AI design, training, and deployment, shifting the focus from futile eradication to principled governance. This paper proposes Semi-AI—a legislated hybrid framework that integrates technology, ethics, law, society, economics, and ecology—operationalized through a multidisciplinary AI Design Council and Hexa-Algorithm (Ethical Matrix + Hexa-Dimension Metric). The framework systematically balances six dimensions: technical efficacy, financial viability, legal validity, ethical soundness, social acceptability, and ecological sustainability. Post-human disruptions that attribute to technological convergence in AI, biotech, and robotics, where algorithmic bias exacerbate inequities in hybrid entities and scarce resources.
