Who Audits Whom, on What Substrate, with What Evidence? An Independence-Graded Audit Protocol for Agentic AI

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper proposes an independence‑graded audit protocol for agentic AI systems, arguing that independence should be evaluated along three orthogonal axes: principal independence, substrate independence, and evidence independence. It introduces a seven‑step protocol based on the beta‑factor model from reliability engineering, demonstrates its application through a structural detectability analysis and a Monte Carlo study, and maps the framework to relevant regulatory standards such as the EU AI Act, ISO/IEC 42006, and UK public‑sector guidance.

Auditable Claims about AI Agents

The paper "Auditable Claims about AI Agents" argues that for a claim about an AI agent to be verifiable, it must explicitly state the agent’s policy, scope, the records that would confirm the claim, and who is responsible for those records. It extends the Auditable Agents framework by adding conditions of independent record coverage, action‑specific authorization, and completeness beyond integrity, and demonstrates the approach with a claim‑check table applied to six common claims. The authors provide a worked example and practical guidance for operators, buyers, auditors, and standard setters.
