LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper introduces LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five accountability dimensions and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—evaluated across maturity levels. The framework maps onto major standards such as the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and sectoral guidance, highlighting gaps in human oversight, accountability metrics, disciplinary alignment, and empirical validation.

LAAF: A Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for LLM Applications

The paper presents LAAF, a Layered Accountability Architecture Framework for Large Language Model (LLM) applications, developed through a systematic review of 122 primary studies and 12 regulatory documents. It identifies five dimensions of accountability and four families of mechanisms—technical controls, human oversight, organisational governance, and documentation/traceability—each assessed for maturity. The framework is mapped onto major regulatory standards (EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001) and highlights persistent gaps such as under‑specified human oversight and lack of shared accountability metrics.

Fault Lines: Navigating Ethics and Responsible AI Where National Policy Meets Local Practice in Public Sector Transformation

arXiv:2606. 13039v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The UK government has adopted a pro-AI stance to help transform public service delivery in the face of severe financial pressures, but the path to translate this vision into responsible AI practice remains ill-defined.

Position: Current Model Cards Are Insufficient for Downstream Governance of Open-Weight Foundation Models

The paper argues that current model cards are inadequate for governing open‑weight foundation models (OWFMs). By analyzing 500 Hugging Face model cards, it identifies safety gaps in areas such as model heritage, alignment provenance, and observed behaviors. The authors propose a multi‑layered governance framework that combines model cards, acceptable use policies (AUPs), and licenses to create a more comprehensive safety artifact.
