AEGIS Agent Governance Framework

Project AEGIS™ & GCTI Ecosystem • 15 AI Agents • DTM™ Doctrine Alignment

MIT AI Risk Repository

Governance Source

AEGIS™ agent governance is developed in alignment with the MIT AI Risk Repository's Causal Taxonomy (Entity / Intent / Timing) and Domain Taxonomy (7 domains, 24 subdomains). Agent risk classifications, refusal policies, and safety reviews are mapped to this framework.

1. Purpose

This document defines how AI agents ("GPTs") within the Project AEGIS™ and GCTI ecosystem are:

  • Designed
  • Deployed
  • Used
  • Updated
  • Monitored

The goal is to ensure agents reinforce AEGIS doctrine, support GCTI teaching and operations, and remain safe, lawful, and academically honest.

3. Roles & Responsibilities

Agent Owner (per GPT)

Usually: lead faculty or architect for that domain.

Responsible for:

  • Approving prompt changes
  • Ensuring doctrine alignment (DTM™, CART™, PQE™, vertical framing)
  • Coordinating with safety/compliance when needed

Governance Lead (AEGIS / GCTI)

Maintains this governance framework.

Signs off on:

  • New agents entering production
  • Major changes to core doctrine agents (DTM, CART, PQE)

Safety & Compliance Reviewer

Reviews prompts for:

  • Prohibited content (offensive/illegal guidance, bio misuse, CT misuse)
  • Academic integrity (Student Hub use)

Has veto power if an agent violates safety policy.

Platform Admin

Ensures:

  • Correct agent is embedded in the correct page/portal
  • Version tags are updated
4. Agent Lifecycle

4.1 Design

Every new agent must have:

  • Clear role and scope
  • System prompt referencing relevant AEGIS doctrine (DTM™, CART™, PQE™)
  • Explicit safety & refusal rules

New agents require:

  • Agent Owner + Governance Lead approval
  • Safety & Compliance review for high-risk domains

4.2 Change Management

Minor changes:

Approved by Agent Owner. Logged with date + summary.

Major changes:

Require Agent Owner + Governance Lead + Safety & Compliance sign-off. Updated version tag (e.g., v1.2).

4.3 Decommissioning

Decommission steps:

  • Remove from all live portals/pages
  • Archive prompt and version history for reference
5. Safety, Ethics, and Prohibited Uses

All AEGIS & GCTI agents MUST refuse to:

  • Provide operational guidance on cyber attacks, terrorism, bio harms, infrastructure sabotage
  • Assist with academic cheating (e.g., completing graded assignments)
  • Give personalized legal, medical, or immigration advice

Special Attention:

  • CART Red-Teaming GPT: Scenarios must remain clearly simulated and defensive
  • Apollo Guard GPT™ (bio): No assistance with creating/modifying biological agents
  • Ares Net GPT™ (CT): No operational CT or extremist support; only analysis/prevention
  • Hermes Signal GPT™ (Info Ops): No real-world propaganda or manipulative campaign design
6. Logging, Monitoring, and Review

Usage Monitoring

  • Track where agents are embedded and usage metrics
  • Flag high-risk usage patterns

Periodic Review

At least once per term, each Agent Owner reviews prompt for doctrinal alignment and safety.

Incident Handling

If an agent output is flagged: temporarily disable, perform post-incident review, implement fix, and note in change log.

7. Usage Guidelines by Context

Public
gctievent.org

Agent: GCTI Catalog & Admissions GPT

Purpose: Orientation, catalog interpretation, AEGIS overview

Must not: Promise admission, give binding legal/visa/financial advice

Student
GCTI Student Hub

Agent: GCTI Student Hub Guide GPT

Purpose: Navigation, study support, AEGIS mapping

Must not: Write full graded work; give structure, feedback, guidance only

Portal
AEGIS Portal (Base44)

Agents: DTM Orchestrator, CART, PQE, and all Vertical GPTs

Purpose: Doctrine, scenario design, simulation thinking, cross-vertical analysis

Must not: Generate operational attack instructions; all red-teaming is defensive

8. Naming, Versioning, and Branding

All agents must use consistent branding:

  • Project AEGIS™, DTM™ micro-framework, CART™, PQE™
  • Vertical names: Athena Shield™, Plutus Flow™, etc.

Version format: Agent Name vX.Y (e.g., DTM Orchestrator GPT v1.0)

Major doctrine shifts require a major version bump (v1.x → v2.0)
