Post-Deployment Accountability in AI Governance: A Cross-Regulatory Empirical Analysis of AI Incidents

arXiv cs.AI · 18 hours ago

A study analyzing real-world AI incidents from 2020-2026 found that 77.1% of incidents lack evidence of EU AI Act post-market monitoring and 99.6% lack documented Data-Protection Impact Assessments. The research identified that internally detected incidents show 87.5% compliance with EU AI Act provisions compared to just 5.3% for externally detected incidents, indicating monitoring capacity is critical. The researchers propose a four-phase governance compliance framework for better post-deployment accountability across regulatory regimes.
