Abstract

The accelerating adoption of large language models, retrieval-augmented generation pipelines, and multi-agent AI workflows has created a structural governance crisis. Organizations cannot govern what they cannot see, and existing compliance methodologies built for deterministic web applications provide no mechanism for discovering or continuously validating AI systems that emerge across engineering teams without formal oversight. The result is a widening trust gap between what regulators demand as proof of AI governance maturity and what organizations can demonstrate. This paper proposes AI Trust OS, a governance architecture for continuous, autonomous AI observability and zero-trust compliance. AI Trust OS reconceptualizes compliance as an always-on, telemetry-driven operating layer in which AI systems are discovered through observability signals, control assertions are collected by automated probes, and trust artifacts are synthesized continuously. The framework rests on four principles: proactive discovery, telemetry evidence over manual attestation, continuous posture over point-in-time audit, and architecture-backed proof over policy-document trust. The framework operates through a zero-trust telemetry boundary in which ephemeral read-only probes validate structural metadata without ingressing source code or payload-level PII. An AI Observability Extractor Agent scans LangSmith and Datadog LLM telemetry, automatically registering undocumented AI systems and shifting governance from organizational self-report to empirical machine observation. Evaluated across ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA, the paper argues that telemetry-first AI governance represents a categorical architectural shift in how enterprise trust is produced and demonstrated.

Low-signal caution for protocol decisions

Use this page for context, then validate protocol choices against stronger HFEPX references before implementation decisions.

  • Extraction flags indicate low-signal or possible false-positive protocol mapping.
  • Extraction confidence is 0.15 (below strong-reference threshold).
  • No benchmark/dataset or metric anchors were extracted.

HFEPX Relevance Assessment

This paper is adjacent to HFEPX scope and is best used for background context, not as a primary protocol reference.
