为可信AI建立独立认证,让安全与公平可验证、可比较、可激励。

Closing the AI Trust Gap: The Case for Independent Certification for Trustworthy AI

  • 提出基于真实结果的独立认证机制,替代仅关注内部流程的责任AI。
  • 现有系统无法区分可信AI与伪可信产品,因缺乏外部可验证证据。
  • 适合政策制定者、企业与投资者,解决信任缺失与市场激励错位问题。

过去十年,负责任AI(RAI)积累了大量识别和缓解高风险场景中人工智能风险的实践经验。然而,这些努力未能形成奖励可信性的市场机制。投入安全、公平与监督的企业难以向消费者、监管机构和股东证明其系统已超越合规底线。缺失的是社会对可信性差异的识别与比较手段。由此产生信任鸿沟:组织内负责任开发的努力未转化为外部可独立验证和认可的可信信号。该鸿沟部分源于对‘负责任AI’(内部流程)而非‘可信AI’(可验证的实际成果)的关注;且由三大叠加失败持续存在:(1) 市场无法区分可信系统与其模仿品;(2) 评估对象是模型与输出,而非部署的社会技术系统及其实际后果;(3) 测量体系聚焦规避危害,而非证明效益。我们回顾现有AI治理工具,并与医疗、可持续性和安全领域的认证制度对比,发现均未整合治理基线、独立验证的正向成果证据与市场信号于统一框架。我们主张建立独立、以结果为导向的认证体系,作为弥合信任鸿沟的连接层,补充监管与内部治理,使可信性可测量、可比较、可商业化激励。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Over the past decade, responsible AI (RAI) has produced a substantial body of practice for identifying and mitigating the risks AI poses in high-stakes settings. Yet this work has not produced a market that rewards trustworthiness. Firms that invest seriously in safety, fairness, and oversight cannot consistently prove to consumers, regulators, and shareholders that their systems go beyond the bare minimum of compliance. What is missing is a way for society to recognize or compare the difference. The result is a trust gap: a structural condition in which responsible development efforts happen inside organizations but produce no external, independently recognized and verifiable signal of trustworthy outcomes. We argue this gap is sustained in part because of a focus on responsible AI (a matter of internal process) as opposed to trustworthy AI (a matter of independently verifiable real-world outcomes), and that it persists because of three compounding failures: (1) the market cannot distinguish trustworthy systems from their imitations; (2) evaluation targets models and outputs rather than deployed sociotechnical systems and their outcomes; (3) the measurement ecosystem is oriented toward avoiding harm rather than demonstrating benefit. Reviewing existing AI governance instruments and comparing them to certification regimes in healthcare, sustainability, and security, we show that none integrate a governance baseline, independently verified positive-outcome evidence, and market signaling in a single framework. We propose independent, outcome-oriented certification as the connective layer that can close the trust gap, complementing regulation and internal governance by making trustworthiness measurable, comparable, and commercially rewarded.
