TL;DR

It is argued that accountable, ethical AI is not a governance overlay applied after deployment but an architectural property that requires encoding ethical commitments as explicit, contestable constraints rather than as emergent properties of trained weights.

Governing Agentic AI in the Administrative State: Human Oversight, Cybersecurity Accountability, and Risk in Autonomous Digital Systems

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) shifts digital government from systems that generate recommendations toward networked systems that perceive, plan, communicate, invoke tools, initiate actions, and adapt with limited direct supervision. This article examines agentic AI as an intelligent cybersecurity governance prob...

Liability as a Requirement: Allocating Civil Responsibility for Agentic AI Systems

The proliferation of agentic artificial intelligence (AI) systems autonomous, goal-directed agents capable of acting with minimal human oversight, has exposed fundamental inadequacies in existing civil liability frameworks. Traditional tort, product liability, and custodian regimes struggle to accommodate systems whose...

Leveraging Human Rights Frameworks for Agentic AI Governance

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI)—systems that reason, act, and interact with autonomy and persistence—presents qualitatively new governance challenges compared to traditional large language models. By operating across multimodal environments and pursuing goals without constant human input, agentic AI introduces b...
