AI progress is creating a growing range of risks and opportunities, but it is often unclear how they should be navigated. In many cases, the barriers and uncertainties faced are at least partly technical. Technical AI governance, referring to technical analysis and tools for supporting the effective governance of AI, seeks to address such challenges. It can help to (a) identify areas where intervention is needed, (b) identify and assess the efficacy of potential governance actions, and (c) enhance governance options by designing mechanisms for enforcement, incentivization, or compliance. In this paper, we explain what technical AI governance is, why it is important, and present a taxonomy and incomplete catalog of its open problems. This paper is intended as a resource for technical researchers or research funders looking to contribute to AI governance.

  1. No Certificate, No Categorical Speech Act: A Brouwerian Assertibility Constraint for Public Reason

    cs.CY 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    An AI may assert or deny high-stakes claims only when it can exhibit a publicly contestable certificate; otherwise it is obligated to return Undetermined.

  2. Exposure is not manifestation: measurement target and output resolution jointly determine which behavioural-faithfulness evaluator wins

    cs.CL 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Small hyperbolic models (146M–3B) report 100% creative-seed preference, 90.7% compliance-gap detection, and a selective-gating skeleton–wallpaper memory pilot as a companion-AI stack.

  3. Macro-Prudential AI Governance: A Two-Layer Early Warning and Response System for Frontier AI

    cs.CY 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Basel-III-style two-layer system—coordinated finder-coordinator-defender reporting plus ECAR, CRTH, and ARS buffers—can detect and dampen correlated risk build-up across frontier AI labs’ internal deployments.

  4. The Foreign Policy AI Evaluation Gap

    cs.CY 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Public technical AI governance almost never evaluates real foreign-policy AI workflows; the paper maps that gap and proposes task-scoped, human-recombined evaluation instead of model leaderboards.

  5. Attestable Audits: Verifiable AI Safety Benchmarks Using Trusted Execution Environments

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A TEE-based protocol for cryptographically verifiable AI safety benchmark results, demonstrated on Llama-3.1 with AWS Nitro Enclaves.

  6. A Theory of Inference Compute Scaling: Reasoning through Directed Stochastic Skill Search

    cs.LG 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A skill-graph random-walk model gives closed-form accuracy-versus-compute formulas for four reasoning strategies and connects them to training scaling.

  7. The Economics of AI Training Data: A Research Agenda

    cs.CY 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The paper synthesizes fragmented research to frame data economics around data's nonrivalry and context dependence, catalogs 2020-2025 AI training data deals, and proposes a hierarchy of data units while listing four f...

  8. A Conceptual Framework for AI Capability Evaluations

    cs.AI 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A descriptive conceptual framework with seven elements (target, task, subject, inputs, instance, measurement, result analysis) for systematizing analysis of AI capability evaluations.

  9. Private, Verifiable, and Auditable AI Systems

    cs.CR 2025-08 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A thesis demonstrating partial prototypes for zk-verifiable model evaluation and privacy-preserving retrieval, and arguing these pieces can compose into end-to-end auditable AI systems.

  10. A Taxonomy for Design and Evaluation of Prompt-Based Natural Language Explanations

    cs.CL 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A three-part taxonomy for prompt-based natural language explanations, covering context, generation and presentation, and evaluation with 15 desirable properties.
