Orionis GroupWhat the proposal examines
The proposed Observatory would develop conceptual, methodological and practical tools for examining how AI changes institutional decision processes, responsibility and oversight.
Its proposed scope includes structural drift, control erosion and governance blind spots. The focus is on evidence that institutions can use to assess whether their decision arrangements continue to serve their purposes.
Research priorities
- Specify observable changes in institutional control and responsibility.
- Establish the provenance and quality of evidence used in monitoring.
- Develop longitudinal comparisons that account for changes in models, workflows and institutional objectives.
- Connect evidence of change with authorized institutional review.
Current stage
The Observatory is a project proposal. Methods, case access and empirical validation would need to be established as the initiative develops.
