Blog — AI Governance & Decision Auditability
Engineering perspectives on AI governance, decision auditability, and building autonomous agents you can trust in regulated production environments. Updated with original research on AI compliance, EU AI Act implementation, and agent behavioral drift.
Topics Covered
The Tenet AI blog covers the technical and regulatory landscape of AI decision accountability: how autonomous agents fail silently in production, what EU AI Act Articles 11–14 require from an engineering perspective, why semantic drift is invisible to standard monitoring tools, how to build deterministic replay into agent pipelines, and what SOC 2 and HIPAA auditors are actually asking about AI systems in 2026.
Featured Articles
The 4 Layers of AI Governance: Why most teams stop at Layer 3 observability and what Layer 4 decision auditability requires. Semantic Drift in AI Agents: the silent failure mode where an agent changes its reasoning without any code or model change. Ghost SDK: why AI agent monitoring should add under 5ms overhead, and how async capture architecture achieves it.
About the Authors
The Tenet AI engineering blog is written by practitioners building production AI systems in regulated industries. Articles reflect direct experience instrumenting and auditing AI agents in fintech, healthtech, legaltech, and insurtech environments — not theoretical frameworks.
Recent Topics and Research Areas
Recent coverage includes: the engineering specifics of EU AI Act Article 12 logging requirements and what "sufficient information" means in practice; why behavioral drift detection requires decision-level replay rather than aggregate model monitoring; how to structure human override documentation to satisfy Article 14 oversight obligations; Ghost SDK architecture decisions and the trade-offs between sampling and full capture at different decision volumes; and practical compliance readiness checklists for AI teams preparing for SOC 2 Type II assessments.

AI Governance in 2026: What Has Changed
The EU AI Act began enforcement of high-risk AI system obligations in August 2026 — the first major jurisdiction to impose legally binding requirements for AI decision logging and human oversight documentation. SOC 2 assessors are including AI-specific inquiry in standard Type II audits. HIPAA OCR has published guidance specifically addressing AI decision audit requirements. ISO 42001 certification is now required in enterprise AI procurement in financial services and government sectors. The compliance landscape that Tenet AI was built for has fully materialized.
