Dear colleagues,
Thank you very much for joining us today.
Welcome to this Special Issue Webinar on
“Governing Trustworthy AI Outputs in a Sensor-Dense Society: Privacy, Auditability and Responsible Deployment.”
This session is held in conjunction with the pre-symposium seminar of ISTA-PSI 2026, taking place today in Bangkok. Some of us, including myself, are participating from the seminar venue, while many of you are joining online from around the world. This hybrid setting itself reflects the kind of interconnected, sensor-dense society that we are here to discuss.
As AI systems become deeply embedded in public infrastructure—such as smart cities, transportation systems, and online platforms—the key challenge is no longer limited to model performance. Rather, the central question is how to govern the outputs of these systems in a way that ensures privacy protection, accountability, and societal trust.
While output-related regulation has existed in the form of rules established by regulatory authorities, such approaches have often lacked effective technical mechanisms for enforcement and verification. As a result, their practical effectiveness in real-world systems has remained limited.
This Special Issue aims to address this gap by proposing a perspective of output-level governance grounded in verifiable records and auditability. At the same time, this discussion is not limited to output alone. It seeks to encompass and integrate existing approaches, including:
In this sense, our goal is to move toward a more comprehensive and integrated governance framework for AI systems.
Today’s webinar aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to explore these emerging challenges and opportunities. We hope this session will serve not only as an introduction to the Special Issue, but also as a platform for building new collaborations and advancing a shared research agenda.
We warmly invite you to actively engage in the discussion and to consider submitting your work to the Special Issue.
Thank you very much for your participation.
