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.

"We'll Fix It Later": Education, AI, and the Deferral of Privacy in EdTech

The article "We'll Fix It Later": Education, AI, and the Deferral of Privacy in EdTech examines how educational technology platforms collect sensitive student data but often postpone privacy considerations until later stages of product development. Through 12 interviews and a policy audit of 48 platforms, the study finds that privacy is acknowledged yet deferred in favor of functionality, growth, and funding, with responsibility frequently shifted to cloud providers or downstream institutions. The audit reveals that many platforms lack clear AI disclosures and provide limited governance details, indicating a gap between data collection practices and privacy accountability.

Governance-as-Code: Translating EU AI Act Technical Requirements into Executable Compliance Pipelines for Generative AI Systems

The paper introduces Governance-as-Code (GaC), a framework that translates the EU AI Act’s technical requirements into 43 machine‑checkable acceptance criteria across six compliance modules. GaC runs within a CI/CD pipeline, producing Article‑indexed audit evidence and providing actual Rego policy code. The authors validate GaC on two enterprise deployments, showing it reproduces manual audit findings—including three penalty‑triggering violations—while reducing audit labor by about 75%.
