Mapping U.S. Federal AI Governance Against Sector Vulnerability

The study evaluates 684 U.S. federal AI governance documents for how they address 14 sectors and 24 AI risks, measuring both breadth and depth of coverage. It finds that risks related to robustness, system security, and governance are more frequently and substantively discussed than socioeconomic, environmental, and emerging risks, and that sectors such as public administration, national security, information, and scientific services receive higher coverage than finance and healthcare. By comparing these coverage patterns with expert vulnerability assessments, the authors identify potential gaps in AI governance that could inform future policy and industry decisions.

Governing at Machine Speed: An Adaptive Intelligence Architecture for Real-Time AI Policy Enforcement

The paper "Governing at Machine Speed: An Adaptive Intelligence Architecture for Real-Time AI Policy Enforcement" highlights a gap in enterprise AI governance, where 78% of organizations lack auditable evidence of policy enforcement. It introduces AGIL, a five-layer adaptive governance architecture that uses machine learning for real-time detection, risk classification, sub-100ms policy enforcement, continuous attestation, and policy evolution. The authors argue that the failure is organizational and architectural, not technical, and call for future empirical validation of AGIL.
