AI governance and institutional accountability
Reviews examining how AI systems redistribute authority, create institutional duties and expose gaps between governance principles and enforceable controls.
Open collectionGovernance analysis, not literature summary
Research notes on how digital systems redistribute authority, legitimacy and control.
The archive reviews papers on AI, digital identity, public infrastructure, regulation and socio-technical systems. Each review extracts the institutional mechanism: who gains decision rights, which safeguards are operational, and where enforcement, revocation or redress remain absent.

Agent authority, delegation and redress
Papers concerned with who may act, how machine authority is bounded, what evidence proves mandate and how affected parties challenge or reverse consequential actions.

Governance beyond principles
Reviews that test whether governance claims are operational: whether authority, evidence, enforcement, revocation, accountability and remedy are actually implemented.

Multi-stakeholder transparency evaluation and dynamic accountability mechanisms for AI-assisted criminal sentencing
Scientific Reports (2026)
Traceability can preserve evidence about an AI-assisted sentencing decision, but accountability exists only when institutions attach that evidence to authority, contestation, remedy, and enforceable consequence.

Very Justified Envy
arXiv
Once a matching system permits bounded priority violations for efficiency, the threshold becomes an executable governance rule that determines whose institutional claim may be displaced and therefore requires legitimate authority, transparency and contestability.

Verifiable Social Reasoning for LLM Assistants
arXiv
An assistant can turn a user's subjective account into an apparently independent judgment without acquiring independent evidence, making epistemic separation a governance requirement rather than merely an accuracy objective.

Taxonomy-Driven Analysis of Open-Source AI Risk Mitigation Tools
arXiv
A taxonomy-to-tool map can expose where engineering controls exist, but it does not make governance executable unless detection is connected to authority, decision rights, enforcement, remediation and accountable acceptance of residual risk.
Socio-technical Systems · 2026-09-16
People Are Not Just Their Countries. Disentangling Social Determinants of LLM Value Alignment Across Europe
arXiv; accepted at AIES 2026
Measuring which populations an LLM resembles is evidence about representational distribution, not a mandate for whose values the system should implement; moving from country averages to demographic granularity makes the legitimacy of the alignment target more, not less, important.

Never Stop Thinking: Continuous-Time Language Agents
arXiv
When an evaluator can reward visible reasoning independently of verified task completion, the evaluation system becomes part of the behavior being optimized and cannot serve as neutral assurance evidence.
AI Governance · 2026-09-16
Interactive Memory Learning for Long-Term Conversations
arXiv
When an agent learns what to remember from later conversational rewards, memory becomes a policy over the user's future context and therefore requires governable rights to inspect, correct, delete and constrain that policy.

Interaction Creates Dynamical AI Behavior Absent in Isolation
arXiv
If interaction topology and message history can create behavior absent in isolated agents, assurance cannot stop at the model boundary: the relationship, protocol and composition become part of the governed system.
