arXiv:2606. 09227v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The convergence of the 2026 European Union Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) framework, Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduce a severe governance bottleneck for advanced semiconductor manufacturing facilities ("Smart Fabs").
arXiv:2607. 23082v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The semiconductor sector faces a dual transition: scaling manufacturing execution through Artificial Intelligence (AI) while satisfying stringent sustainability mandates, such as the EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
The paper argues that AI governance should rely on ISO-like interoperability protocols rather than solely on jurisdiction-specific laws. It proposes standardized AI nutrition labels that include metrics for bias, energy usage, and data provenance to enable machine‑readable risk communication across borders. These protocols aim to reduce regulatory fragmentation, lower barriers for SMEs, and build public trust while allowing modular evolution with technology.
arXiv:2606. 20520v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous agents are increasingly connected to cloud, deployment, and data-control workflows, but production mutation authority should not reside inside non-deterministic reasoning processes.
arXiv:2606. 12320v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise security was built to govern data boundaries: the protected surface was data at rest and in transit, and the controls -- access control, data-loss prevention, perimeter inspection -- governed crossings of that boundary.
arXiv:2607. 15480v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As artificial intelligence (AI) systems increasingly impact society, ensuring their ethical and trustworthy deployment has become a global priority.

arXiv:2608. 03626v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large language models are being integrated into critical infrastructure and enterprise workflows at unprecedented scale,yet the lifecycle frameworks governing their development and operations were designed for operational efficiency rather than security analysis.
AgentKernel proposes a trust‑native operating system for AI agents, arguing that current governance layers are insufficient because they share the same process trust boundary as the agents. The OS introduces a mandatory enforcement boundary organized into four pillars—Identity, Perception, Cognition, and Execution—each adapting classical OS security principles to address semantic‑level failures such as prompt injection, memory poisoning, and tool misuse. By wrapping the agent lifecycle in this structured, non‑bypassable framework, AgentKernel aims to provide a unified security layer that can enforce identity, input mediation, memory governance, and execution control across the entire agent lifecycle.
arXiv:2606. 17915v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Big-Data-as-a-Service (BDaaS) platforms require re liable automation across data ingestion, cleaning, feature engi neering, model development, deployment, and post-deployment monitoring.
The paper "Beyond Training: A Feasibility Taxonomy for Inference-Time AI Governance" presents a taxonomy of twenty inference‑time mechanisms for monitoring, verification, and enforcement, each evaluated on a four‑point readiness scale using evidence from four vendors. It applies this taxonomy to a two‑dimensional adversary model and maps the mechanisms to four governance scenarios, finding that most mechanisms are commercially available but only adequate against cooperative or low‑to‑medium‑capability users, not high‑capability state‑level deployers. The study also links inference‑stage controls to hardware‑stage mechanisms through a substitution principle and reports a second‑rater reliability of 0.74. whyItMatters":"The work identifies the current gaps and readiness of inference‑time governance tools, highlighting that existing mechanisms are insufficient against powerful adversaries and thus informing future regulatory and technical development."
The paper examines how large language models (LLMs) can assist in creating regulatory compliance artifacts for EU sustainability and privacy laws, specifically Digital Product Passports (DPPs) under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation and Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs) under the General Data Protection Regulation. It investigates the effects of data extraction instructions and regulatory ambiguity on the quality and consistency of LLM-generated artifacts, benchmarking various models against manually crafted ground‑truth schemas. Findings indicate that looser guidelines, like those for DPIAs, demand more extensive prompts to achieve consistency, whereas stricter formatting rules for DPPs yield consistent outputs but may introduce hallucinations.
The paper presents a systematic framework for large language model (LLM) watermarking as a provenance tool in big data ecosystems. It categorizes existing watermarking methods along four deployment dimensions—insertion point, verification authority, operational state, and transformation threat model—and aligns them with the big data principles of Volume, Velocity, Variety, Veracity, and Value. The authors introduce a readiness framework that maps four key workloads—online generation, streaming detection, transformation pipelines, and ecosystem governance—to system-level requirements such as throughput, false-positive control, robustness, cross-domain reliability, governance, and downstream utility, while highlighting gaps between benchmark performance and real-world deployment readiness.
