In my view, a clear case of needing to 'manage upward'. I suggest you convene a meeting with those who're agitating for this and manage them through a process of getting them to be clear about the high-level objectives, and then give them a sense of the opportunities and constraints and the need for research and careful decision-making on the tech front.
If you don't feel you have the pull to get them into a room, get someone upstream from you be champion and do the convening and engagement. Try to get it the status of a real project, get a serious sponsor, and get them to take responsibility for the project's impact. Yes, this can all fail, but if they get bound up and won't make the appropriate business decisions, then the heat's off you. On the other hand, it might get legs and become something real and manageable, instead of being a liability laid at your feet.
