Designing Transparency-First AI Governance

Transparency-first policies still need enforcement to stay credible.

Compliance Monitoring#

• Use automated checks to verify timely filings.
• Flag anomalies (e.g., sudden drop in reported incidents) for manual review.
• Conduct random audits or targeted inspections based on risk signals.

Enforcement Actions#

• Issue corrective action plans requiring organizations to fix deficiencies within defined timelines.
• Publicly note repeated non-compliance to leverage reputational incentives.
• Escalate to fines or operational restrictions only after transparency remedies fail.

Continuous Improvement#

• Convene advisory panels to review enforcement data and recommend updates.
• Survey stakeholders annually to measure satisfaction and identify friction points.
