Blog | Governance Ledger

The Governance Ledger is the commentary and analysis platform of The Center for Ethical AI.

It publishes structured insights, critical reflections, and applied perspectives on AI governance, accountability, and institutional oversight. Contributions focus on translating ethical principles into operational governance, examining emerging risks, and interrogating real-world AI deployments through a standards-aligned lens.

While distinct from the peer-reviewed AI Governance Review, all content in The Governance Ledger is curated under editorial oversight and aligned with the Center’s governance frameworks. The blog serves as a space for timely analysis, practitioner insight, and governance-focused discourse that informs research, policy, and institutional decision-making.

Submissions and Contributions

We welcome invited and proposed contributions from researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and institutional leaders working in AI governance and related domains.

Submissions are editorially reviewed for relevance, rigor, and alignment with the Center’s mission. Blog contributions do not undergo formal peer review and are not considered academic publications, but they are expected to meet high standards of clarity, evidence, and ethical integrity.

Prospective contributors may submit proposals or inquiries via the Contact page.

The Hidden Multiplier: Why AI Governance Needs to Think in Cascades

A conversation about what we're missing when we audit AI systems By: Dale Rutherford October 18, 2025 My research into bias, misinformation, and error propagation in large language models reveals a real and significant problem, one that challenges almost everything about how we currently approach AI governance and fairness auditing. Here’s the issue: we’ve been treating bias like a photograph when it’s actually a motion picture. You can experience this dynamic for yourself in
