AI audit logs must record decisions before execution, not just immutable hashes

An immutable audit log is insufficient to prove decisions made by AI agents if the decision itself is not durably recorded before execution. A proposed workflow involves binding approval to a specific artifact digest, then admitting the decision receipt before issuing a short-lived operation capability. This process ensures that actions are verifiable, preventing issues like missing or replayed decisions, and clearly separating the proposal, human decision, and execution stages. AI

IMPACT Enhances the trustworthiness and verifiability of AI agent actions, crucial for applications requiring auditable decision trails.

RANK_REASON The item discusses a technical approach to improving the reliability and auditability of AI agent decision-making processes, which falls under research into AI systems. [lever_c_demoted from research: ic=1 ai=1.0]
