Researchers introduce a new task for generating question-passage pairs to aid in developing regulatory question-answering (QA) systems. The ObliQA dataset, comprising 27,869 questions from Abu Dhabi Global Markets (ADGM) financial regulations, is presented. A baseline Regulatory Information Retrieval and Answer Generation (RIRAG) system is designed and evaluated using the RePASs metric.

This paper introduces a Regulatory Knowledge Graph (RKG) for the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) regulations, constructed using language models and graph technologies. A portion of the regulations was manually tagged to train BERT-based models, which were then applied to the rest of the corpus. The resulting knowledge graph, stored in Neo4j, and code are open-sourced on GitHub to promote advancements in compliance automation.

This paper introduces the AI Pentad model, comprising humans/organizations, algorithms, data, computing, and energy, as a framework for AI regulation. It also presents the CHARME²D Model to link the AI Pentad with regulatory enablers like registration, monitoring, and enforcement. The paper assesses AI regulatory efforts in the EU, China, UAE, UK, and US using the CHARME²D model, highlighting strengths and weaknesses.

The paper introduces ILION, a deterministic execution gate designed to ensure the safety of autonomous AI agents by classifying proposed actions as either BLOCK or ALLOW. ILION uses a five-component cascade architecture that operates without statistical training, API dependencies, or labeled data. Evaluation against existing text-safety infrastructures demonstrates ILION's superior performance in preventing unauthorized actions, achieving an F1 score of 0.8515 with sub-millisecond latency.
