Right-to-Act Protocol for AI Pre-Execution Decisions
A new research paper introduces the Right-to-Act protocol, a deterministic pre-execution decision layer for AI systems. Unlike post-hoc validation or probabilistic risk estimation, this protocol enforces strict structural constraints that halt or defer AI-generated actions if any required condition is unmet. The work formalizes the distinction between compensatory and non-compensatory decision regimes and defines a pre-execution legitimacy boundary. The paper is available on arXiv under reference 2604.24153.
Key facts
- Right-to-Act protocol is a deterministic non-compensatory pre-execution decision layer
- It evaluates whether an AI-generated decision is permitted to be realized
- If any required condition is unmet, execution is halted or deferred
- Contrasts with compensatory systems where high-confidence signals can override failed conditions
- Formalizes distinction between compensatory and non-compensatory decision regimes
- Defines a pre-execution legitimacy boundary
- Paper available on arXiv:2604.24153
