ISAsiin

ISAsiin is a fictional or speculative concept used in theoretical discussions and some science fiction to describe a global framework for the security, integrity, and governance of autonomous artificial intelligence systems across jurisdictions. The term is not tied to a single real organization and does not denote an officially adopted standard in current practice.

In its imagined form, ISAsiin stands for an International Standards for AI Security and Integrity Network. Proponents describe it as a comprehensive governance architecture that would harmonize safety requirements, risk assessment, lifecycle management, and interoperability protocols for AI systems. The idea emphasizes transparent decision-making, verifiable safety certifications, and mechanisms for accountability when AI acts unexpectedly or causes harm. Data sovereignty, privacy protections, and cross-border incident reporting are typically highlighted as core components.

Governance within the ISAsiin concept is usually portrayed as an international council with technical committees, national representatives, and stakeholder observers. Certification regimes, auditing processes, and standardized testing would purportedly enable comparable assessments of AI systems regardless of where they are deployed. The framework would also advocate for a modular, security-by-design approach to software development and for clear lines of responsibility in supply chains and deployment scenarios.

As a thought experiment, ISAsiin is used to explore challenges of global regulation, sovereignty, and enforcement in AI governance. It bears relation to real-world standards work, such as ISO/IEC frameworks, the NIST AI Security and Risk Management efforts, and regulatory initiatives like the EU AI Act, but it remains unestablished as an official standard.
