Dependency

From Telephone Unbundling to Digital Bottlenecks: The Telecommunications Act of 1996, Antitrust Enforcement, and a Function-Specific Access Regime

Digital bottleneck regulation becomes governable only when access duties are attached to specific functions, backed by reviewable designation evidence, and supervised by institutions capable of enforcing technical terms over time.

Accountability in AI and Automated Decision-Making: From Explainability to Reviewable Administrative Governance

An automated public decision is accountable only when public institutions can independently examine its conditions of production and compel its correction, not merely explain its output.

A sustainable platform for federated health data access, AI innovation, and regulatory acceptance in alignment with the European Health Data Space principles

Federated health infrastructure preserves local custody of patient data, but legitimate secondary use still depends on independently reviewable access authority, cross-border policy reconciliation, and evidence of acceptable analytical outcomes.

Explaining governance with depth: Critical realism and the morphogenetic turn in public administration research

Formal rules do not govern by themselves: administrative outcomes are produced through the interaction of structural relations, cultural expectations, and reflexive agency over time, so governance analysis must identify the mechanisms that reproduce or transform those arrangements rather than infer effectiveness from institutional design alone.

The Limits of AI Guidelines in Journalism: Is Algorithmic Transparency an Illusion?

AI governance in journalism fails when ethical principles are published without enforceable decision rights, audit access, institutional capacity, and controls over dependence on proprietary infrastructure.

Swarms of Agentic AI: Swarm Intelligence, Emergence, Indeterminism, and Governance in the Digital Grey Zone

Agentic-swarm governance should not depend on predicting every collective action; it should bound delegated authority, constrain reachable states, preserve attribution, and contain failures when emergent behavior exceeds prediction.

Digital State Governance in Estonia and Poland: Institutional Architectures, Interoperability, and the Transition toward Proactive Public Services

Proactive digital government depends less on the number of online services than on whether identity, authoritative data, interoperability, auditability, and whole-of-government coordination have been institutionalised as reusable infrastructure.

Artificial Intelligence Governance in Africa: Institutional Capacity, Regulation and Policy Implementation

AI governance becomes effective only when formal policy authority is converted into funded mandates, technical capability, coordination, monitoring, enforcement, and institutions able to sustain those functions over time.

Toward Web 4.0: bidirectional trust between AI agents and blockchain

Verifiable agent infrastructure can make identity, delegation, execution, and evidence machine-checkable without settling who is entitled to govern, whose preferences should count, or how affected parties can contest automated authority.

Governance Laundering: A Taxonomy of Failure Modes in AI Compliance Architectures

Governance evidence becomes institutionally meaningful only when it can reconstruct a decision, prove that authorization preceded execution, and preserve the authority and action context that made the decision legitimate.

Structural Preconditions of Algorithmic Sovereignty: Informational Fragility and the Institutional Architecture of AI Governance

GPAS measures the administrative preconditions for algorithmic sovereignty more convincingly than it measures legitimate sovereignty itself, because informational coherence and state capacity do not establish contestability, institutional independence, or justified public authority.

Leveraging Human Rights Frameworks for Agentic AI Governance

The UNGP translation is institutionally useful, but shared responsibility remains aspirational until rights-relevant duties survive delegation as enforceable constraints with named intervention authority, adjudication, and remedy across organizational boundaries.

Interaction Creates Dynamical AI Behavior Absent in Isolation

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.

Designing Agent IDs

An agent ID can make identity, provenance, and permission legible to a service, but it becomes governance infrastructure only when the authority behind those claims can be scoped, refreshed, revoked, contested, and independently trusted.

A Verifier-Centric Conceptual Model for Digital Credential Ecosystems

Credential interoperability is not a property of shared formats alone: it exists only when verifiers can obtain the constitutional and logistical materials needed to decide what to trust, while retaining responsibility for the assumptions that make acceptance legitimate.

AI Agents and the Next Layer of India's Digital Infrastructure

At population scale, an "agent layer" only becomes governance-grade when delegation is cryptographically bounded, discoverable, and revocable; otherwise you just automated intermediaries and fraud.

Composition can be part of the governed object

Assurance of components in isolation is incomplete when interaction topology, message ordering, retained context or delegated relationships can change system behaviour.

The archive contains both experimental evidence that interaction changes observed behaviour and governance analysis showing that delegated agents exercise authority through relationships rather than as isolated models.

Who governs the infrastructure that declares authority?

Registries, trust lists and resolver services can make issuer or agent authority legible, but the archive repeatedly leaves open how admission, suspension, update, appeal, operator accountability and conflicting authority sources should be governed.

A registry can improve provenance while simultaneously becoming a concentrated gatekeeper whose own authority and error-correction mechanisms determine who can participate.

AI Agents and the Next Layer of India's Digital Infrastructure → Accountable yet Anonymous AI Agents: Split-Knowledge Binding in China’s National Agent-Identity Layer

Both reviews examine agent infrastructure through governance requirements around bounded authority, accountability and trust rather than agent capability alone.

AI Agents and the Next Layer of India's Digital Infrastructure → Critique of Agent Model

Both reviews treat the agent model as institutionally incomplete when authority, accountability and governance are not made operational.

Designing Agent IDs → Accountable yet Anonymous AI Agents: Split-Knowledge Binding in China’s National Agent-Identity Layer

Both distinguish agent identification and attribution from current, action-specific authority, while exposing registry, revocation and accountability dependencies.

Designing Agent IDs → A Verifier-Centric Conceptual Model for Digital Credential Ecosystems

Both place the receiving service or verifier at the point where identity and provenance evidence must be converted into an institutional acceptance or authorization decision.

A Verifier-Centric Conceptual Model for Digital Credential Ecosystems → Building a National Digital Trust Architecture for India: From Digital Identity and Data Exchange to Federated Institutional Trust

Both separate cryptographic verification from the relying institution's governance decision and require authority, purpose, current status and institutional responsibility to make acceptance legitimate.

Designing Loyalty: AI Agents and Conflicts of Interest → Leveraging Human Rights Frameworks for Agentic AI Governance

Both translate normative duties into governance requirements for delegated agent action, including evidence, constraints, accountability and remedy across organizations.

Leveraging Human Rights Frameworks for Agentic AI Governance → Who Owns AI When It Breaks? The Convergence of AI Governance and Cybersecurity Accountability

Both reject diffuse accountability as sufficient and require institutional mechanisms that turn shared duties into named authority, intervention, evidence and remedy.

Credential Disclosure in (EU) Digital Identity Wallets: Privacy Risks and Practical Mitigations → A Verifier-Centric Conceptual Model for Digital Credential Ecosystems

Both center verifier-side power and show that credential exchange is governed by what relying parties request, what evidence they accept and which institutional assumptions shape validation.
