Ethics and Social Impacts of AI
TL;DR
A feasibility-first framework for admissible-state reasoning within Deterministic Systems Intelligence (DSI) is developed, which distinguishes continuity with earlier DSI release-governance work from a further theoretical question: whether an institution is justified in exercising consequential authority through a proposed AI-mediated action.
This framework extends familiar themes in bounded rationality, active inference and safe reinforcement learning by treating authority, contestability and oversight cost as first-class ethical variables rather than external governance add-ons.
The article develops a four-dimensional framework comprising technological infrastructure, institutional delegation, legal-regulatory structuring, and platform power, and identifies four mechanisms through which authority is formed: efficiency legitimation, risk categorization, responsibility diffusion, and institution...

Agentic artificial intelligence (AI) shifts digital government from systems that generate recommendations toward networked systems that perceive, plan, communicate, invoke tools, initiate actions, and adapt with limited direct supervision. This article examines agentic AI as an intelligent cybersecurity governance prob...
