0000 A system generates attested decision provenance records for artificial intelligence models. The AI model executes within a hardware-isolated enclave that prevents access or modification by external software. Before each execution, the system verifies that the correct model version is present by comparing a cryptographic model fingerprint and checking a hardware-anchored monotonic counter that prevents rollback to earlier versions. If a mismatch or rollback attempt occurs, execution is halted and the event is recorded. For each decision, the system produces a signed provenance token containing seven fields: a model hash, an input hash, a decision hash, an enclave measurement, a hardware timestamp, a version counter value, and an attestation signature covering all preceding fields. The token enables independent verification of the decision without revealing underlying data. Optional extensions include fairness evaluation, selective encryption, distributed fallback execution, post-quantum signatures, and automated compliance package generation.

0000 Prior AI governance systems operate as isolated domain silos and cannot share hardware-attested evidence across domains, generate simultaneous multi-framework regulatory proofs, or allow regulators to independently verify compliance. The present invention introduces a Universal AI Governance Fabric, a horizontal platform that federates domain-specific Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) systems under a single cryptographically unified trust state anchored to silicon root-of-trust keys inaccessible to software. A heterogeneous TEE orchestration layer verifies attestations across multiple enclave technologies including Intel SGX, AMD SEV-SNP, Intel TDX, ARM TrustZone, and major confidential computing environments. When a threshold violation occurs, an atomic cross-domain transition orchestrator simultaneously destroys baseline session keys, increments hardware monotonic counters, and activates IOMMU isolation across participating systems. A Unified Regulatory Verification Engine generates jurisdiction-specific evidence packs for major regulatory frameworks from a single zero-knowledge proof computation, enabling independent regulator verification and providing a secure, cross-domain AI governance infrastructure.

Existing DAO governance systems operate entirely in software, allowing majority voters to execute proposals regardless of risk controls, enabling privileged actors to forge compliance logs, and forcing regulators to rely on unverifiable system reports. The present invention addresses these limitations by executing governance-critical logic within Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), hardware-isolated processor regions inaccessible to operating systems, cloud providers, and blockchain nodes. The architecture introduces five elements: a Multi-TEE Quorum Verification Layer requiring agreement from three independent TEEs before authorization; an On-Chain Attestation Registry preventing counterfeit governance engines; a Regulatory Verification Network enabling independent compliance validation; a Post-Quantum Attestation Layer securing evidence for long-term retention; and Automated Treasury Safeguards including hardware-enforced freezes, circuit breakers, and insurance triggers. When violations are confirmed by quorum, cryptographic keys are destroyed, hardware counters advance, and network isolation activates, making non-compliant execution physically impossible while producing zero-knowledge proofs usable across multiple regulatory frameworks.
