Computational Law Framework Formalizes AI Governance Rules

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new paper proposes using Wolfram Language to implement "Computational Law" for governing AI systems, even those with opaque reasoning. The approach formalizes legal obligations, permissions, and prohibitions into executable code. Testing with GPT-4 revealed challenges in translating English legal statements into this formalism, including hallucinated functions and incorrect norm encoding. A case study of an AI guard dog demonstrated how formalized rules can be integrated into an agent's operational code to provide auditable justifications for its behavior. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more auditable and enforceable AI behavior by translating legal principles into executable code.

    Implementing Computational Law in Wolfram Language for the Governance of Artificial Intelligence

    arXiv:2608.13958v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: How do we govern AI systems whose reasoning we cannot fully inspect? Governance does not require understanding a system's reasoning. It requires stating what the system is obliged, permitted, and forbidden to do, and checking whethe…
