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.

Evolutionary Safety of Recursive Self-Improving AI: Taxonomy, Risk Discovery, and Evaluation

The paper introduces the concept of Evolutionary Safety for recursive self-improving AI, focusing on how safety properties evolve as an AI system and its successors change. It identifies key risks such as intent drift, error accumulation, and safety-property erosion, and presents a taxonomy covering agent state, model state, evaluation, environment, and update mechanisms. The authors propose methods for discovering and evaluating evolutionary risks, and outline governance principles for modification, selection, authorization, provenance, and recovery, while highlighting open problems for maintaining safety in persistent, adaptive, and recursively self-improving systems.

The Gold in Bias: Maturing the AI Design Process through Verification

The paper proposes rethinking bias in AI as a diagnostic tool rather than merely a flaw to be minimized. It introduces a multidimensional framework that examines bias across origin, lifecycle emergence, technical causes, and validation methods, covering 30 bias types, 16 verification methods, and 20 countermeasures for both traditional and generative AI. The authors present a hierarchical evidence framework distinguishing internal and external validity, and advocate for Ethics by Design principles to embed bias verification throughout the AI development lifecycle.
