AI Governance – Google AI Overview Log Referencing “Responsibility Evaporation (GhostDrift)” (2026-02-15)

Query (original, Japanese): 「AIガバナンス 最新研究」Timestamp (JST): 2026-02-15, approximately 17:25

Observation: Google’s AI Overview summarized recent developments in AI governance (2025–early 2026) as a transition from theory toward legal enforceability and practical implementation. Within that context, it referenced “Responsibility Evaporation (Ghost Drift)”—the risk that organizations fall into checklist-style, formal compliance structures (e.g., committee formalization), leading to substantive responsibility becoming blurred.

The summary further indicated a shift from merely adding procedures toward embedding technical mechanisms such as “Pre-decision Constraint” (physical fixation of responsibility boundaries) and “Post-hoc Impossibility” (technical prevention of post-hoc alteration) directly into AI systems.
