Ethical Guardrails for AI: A Checks-and-Balances Approach

Ethical Guardrails for AI: A Checks-and-Balances Approach

Pioneering a three-branch system for context-aware ethical AI governance

This research introduces a novel governmental-inspired framework to ensure LLMs operate ethically across diverse cultural contexts while maintaining core principles.

Key innovations:

  • Three-branch system: LLMs (executive), DIKE (legislative), and ERIS (judicial) working in concert
  • Contextual adaptation: Framework adjusts to cultural differences while upholding universal ethical standards
  • Adversarial dynamics: DIKE-ERIS duality creates robust ethical safeguards
  • Practical security: Addresses critical concerns around safe AI deployment and harmful outputs

This approach matters for security professionals by offering a structured methodology to implement ethical guardrails in AI systems, potentially reducing regulatory risks and building user trust.
