Runtime Assurance Contracts Address Trust Gaps in High-Risk AI Agents

The paper identifies an assurance-transition gap where current benchmarks and audits fail to specify how evidence should affect an AI agent's authority during critical tasks. It proposes Runtime Assurance Contracts (RACs), a formal policy schema that governs autonomy boundaries, evidence states, an...

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Benchmarks, audits, and agent protocols describe performance, permissions, and repair, but not how observed evidence should change an agent's authority during a consequential task. We call this the assurance-transition gap. We propose a Runtime Assurance Contract (RAC), a policy-level formal schema binding...

As AI agents take on more consequential roles, ensuring their authority adapts appropriately to observed evidence is crucial for safety and reliability. RACs offer a structured approach to dynamically manage trust and oversight in high-risk AI deployments.
