Definition

Trustworthy AI refers to systems that behave predictably and transparently, especially at the boundaries of uncertainty.

Role in VSAVM

VSAVM approaches trustworthiness by construction: it constrains emission to what can be derived and checked under bounded closure and exposes traces and budgets on demand.

Mechanics and implications

The system’s outputs are classified into robust, conditional, or indeterminate based on closure and scope. This replaces ungrounded confidence with operational coverage. The surface realizer is constrained to avoid introducing facts beyond VM state.

Further reading

Trustworthy AI intersects with explainability, verification, and alignment. VSAVM’s contribution is to provide an executable substrate that makes these concerns operational and auditable.

Trust is built by tying outputs to traces and checks and by using explicit output modes.
