This recommended practice provides guidance for the design and assessment of systems that govern autonomous Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents through the enforcement of organization-defined legal, regulatory, and contractual policy constraints. The recommended practice defines architectural recommendations, design invariants, and assessment criteria that support auditable and explainable decision-making, independent defense-in-depth safety controls, and resilience of such controls during network degradation, partitioning, and failure. The recommended practice applies to systems in which AI agents make decisions autonomously, at scale, and across multiple jurisdictions, such as retail, financial services, healthcare, and logistics domains. The recommended practice does not prescribe specific implementation technologies or vendor solutions, particular AI models or inference engines, or domain-specific regulatory or legal interpretations.

Other Activities From This Working Group
Current projects that have been authorized by the IEEE SA Standards Board to develop a standard.
No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
