AI Guardrail Policy Simulator | ABC News Governance Model

Governance Parameter Controls

Tune regulatory guardrails modeled after Washington congressional oversight proposals

Statutory Presets

Autonomy Threshold 65%

Ceiling on autonomous code execution, tool invocation, and recursive agentic self-prompting.

Containment Redundancy 70%

Air-gapped verification, multi-layer honeypots, and hardware-enforced remote killswitches.

Human Override Frequency 75%

Mandatory human-in-the-loop signoff intervals for high-stakes capability invocations.

Transparency Mandate 80%

Open architectural weights disclosure, red-team incident reports, and federal safety filings.
