Position: AI Governance Needs ISO-like Interoperability Protocols, Not Just Laws

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.

From Protocols to Evidence: Bounded Claims for AI in Service of the Common Good

The paper argues that AI should be evaluated not only by principles but by concrete protocols that translate commitments into roles, requirements, records, oversight, and assessment. It introduces a rupture test linking institutional baselines to system evaluation, and distinguishes evidence‑bounded deployment from measurement‑bounded governance. The authors propose the RISE AI architecture to make bounded, evidence‑based claims about Responsibility, Inclusivity, Safety, and Empowerment, emphasizing the need for engineering, institutional repair, and ongoing moral judgment.

Why we need an AI-resilient society- Profiling Large Language Models

The article discusses the evolution of AI across three generations—from explicit logic to neural networks to large language models (LLMs)—and how LLMs introduce new systemic risks. It applies a forensic‑psychology profiling method to identify ten key features of LLMs, such as hallucinations, bias, and cognitive atrophy, revealing an entity that confabulates, amplifies user biases, and erodes human competence. The report concludes with a four‑pillar framework for AI resilience, emphasizing cognitive sovereignty, measurable control, partial autonomy, and openness to safeguard society.

Watermarks Without Verification: AI Text Watermarking After the EU AI Act

The paper discusses the EU AI Act’s requirement for generative AI providers to embed detectable watermarks in their outputs, noting that Anthropic’s Claude models and Google’s Gemini use SynthID‑Text by default. It critiques the lack of verifiability of claims about watermark quality, privacy, and robustness, and evaluates the open‑source SynthID‑Text implementation on two open‑weight models, finding minimal impact on prose and modest correctness loss on code. The authors argue that the real governance issue is the inability to verify these assertions and outline necessary steps—such as output release, configuration disclosure, accredited audits, shared evaluation protocols, and interoperable detection—to address the gaps.
