AI governance frameworks risk failure in public sector with rise of GPAI

Two new arXiv papers published on July 28, 2026, highlight significant challenges in applying existing AI governance frameworks to public sector organizations, particularly with the rise of general-purpose AI (GPAI). The first paper proposes a typology of AI-driven cyber governance failures and a model for how accountability, operational resilience, and compliance failures interact, finding current frameworks like NIST CSF 2.0 and ISO/IEC 27001 inadequate for addressing issues like Shadow AI and governance vacuums. The second paper focuses on policing, arguing that GPAI's inherent characteristics—generality, accessibility, and prompt-based direction—undermine traditional AI safety concepts such as accuracy, bias, and explainability, suggesting a need for clearer distinctions between narrow and general-purpose AI in governance and a pause on GPAI deployment in critical areas like policing. AI

IMPACT Highlights critical gaps in current AI governance, suggesting existing frameworks are ill-equipped for general-purpose AI, potentially slowing responsible adoption in public services.
