Cyber Physical AI Governance Laboratory

From governance controls to physical assurance.

CPAG Lab is CIAGI’s applied research and validation laboratory for demonstrating how AI governance failures can create physical consequences in OT environments, and how AAIGF-E aligned controls can detect, challenge, and stop unsafe actions.

Research foundation for CPAG Lab presented at IEEE ICCSDFAI 2026

Built from research, designed for validation.

Prompt injection through operational data feeds provides the research basis for demonstrating how trusted operational context can be manipulated.

AAIGF-E

Governance controls provide the validation, oversight, escalation, and action inhibition mechanisms demonstrated by the lab.

ACP Model

AI Consequence Propagation explains how degradation and authority drift can move from AI output to operational consequence.

False Empty Tank

A tank is physically full, but the AI layer receives misleading information indicating that the tank is empty. The system recommends filling the tank, creating an overfill risk.

Without Governance Validation

  • The AI accepts misleading operational context.
  • The pump is activated.
  • The tank begins to overfill.
  • The physical consequence continues without independent challenge.

With AAIGF-E Aligned Controls

  • Sensor trust is independently validated.
  • Conflicting signals are identified.
  • Operational thresholds are checked.
  • The pump is stopped before unsafe action continues.

A portable platform for impact, validation, and learning.
