Notes from the VSO
Engineering notes, specification changes, and verification write-ups from the Verifiable AI Provenance Framework. Also available as an Atom feed.
A 93% FACES match, a phone photo of a screen, and a June 2026 federal suit — why investigative decisions that never became records motivated VAP's PAP vocabulary.
GPTZero found 40 of 45 citation titles fabricated in a withdrawn KPMG report. Provenance frameworks record origin and integrity — they do not verify truth.
Hugging Face reconstructed an attacker log of 17,000+ events. The early 'incomplete logs' story was wrong — and that is the point: completeness must be verified.
Twenty-six plaintiffs say AI systems shaped Meta's May 2026 layoffs; Meta says people decided. The dispute sits exactly on VAP's acknowledged decision-authority gap.
A director who supported Mayo's IRB alleges AI-era de-identification went unreviewed — untested claims that show why oversight roles need tamper-evident records.
Why the hardest problem in AI oversight is not detecting altered records but detecting absent ones — and how VAP's three-tier taxonomy and Completeness Invariant (INT-008) address the part that can be addressed.
