Research R0021 — Prompt engineering definitions
Run 2026-03-25
Query Q004
Hypothesis H2

Statement

Validation requirements are minimal or vague, with regulators unable to keep pace with AI

Status

Current: Eliminated

Supporting Evidence

Evidence Summary
SRC01-E01 FAA released AI Safety Assurance Roadmap v1 (2024) acknowledging need for new methods
SRC02-E01 FDA's GMLP framework with predetermined change control plans
SRC03-E01 SR 11-7 model risk management being extended to AI/ML

Contradicting Evidence

No direct contradictory evidence found for H2.

Reasoning

All three regulated industries have validation frameworks (FAA roadmap, FDA SaMD guidance, SR 11-7), but all acknowledge that these frameworks were designed for traditional systems and require adaptation for AI. The FAA explicitly states "rigorous safety assurance methods must be developed." SR 11-7 validation approaches "may lose effectiveness" for self-adapting models.

Relationship to Other Hypotheses

H3 represents the nuanced reality: frameworks exist (contradicting H2) but have acknowledged gaps (qualifying H1).
