Legitimate institutions are the backbone of AGI stewardship. Without clear mandates, public accountability, and durable legal footing, oversight becomes optional and power drifts toward whoever controls the strongest systems.
What this pillar covers
- Statutory and charter mandates for evaluation, licensing, and incident response
- Public reporting duties and parliamentary or congressional oversight interfaces
- Independent technical capacity inside government, not only in labs
- Stable funding so institutions outlast election cycles
Design goal
Build structures that can keep pace with capability—adaptive enough to update standards, firm enough to enforce them.
