Siloed Visibility: Defining a New Governance Risk in the Agentic Phase of AI (zenodo.org)

AIVO Journal’s new white paper for AIVO Standard v3.5 coins “Siloed Visibility” to describe a governance risk emerging as LLMs evolve into agentic ecosystems. Instead of answers surfacing through an open generative model, user queries increasingly interact with brand-owned agents that run in closed execution layers; discoverability via generative recall is replaced by conditional access via invocation. The paper frames this migration of brand presence from the model’s generative locus of authority into private agentic environments as a new provenance problem for visibility and accountability. Technically, AIVO proposes measuring this shift with dual Prompt-Space Occupancy metrics—PSOS-T (Text Visibility) to capture what remains exposed through generative outputs, and PSOS-A (Agentic Visibility) to quantify what lives behind agentic invocations. The document contains no empirical data; it’s a definitional groundwork intended to steer future AIVO audits (2025–2026) and to extend existing compliance regimes by adding visibility provenance as an accountability dimension under ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act, and the OECD AI Principles. For practitioners and regulators, the paper signals that governance must adapt from monitoring model outputs to tracking invocation pathways and agent-level access controls.
