Guard Rail Validation framework for runtime validation of AI agent decisions in autonomous telecom networks

A new arXiv preprint proposes the Guard Rail Validation (GRV) framework, a runtime architecture for intercepting and validating AI-driven decisions before they execute in autonomous telecommunications networks (Levels 4-5). The framework scores decisions across dimensions including action scope, reversibility, and service criticality, then applies graduated validation mechanisms ranging from logging to multi-agent consensus. The paper also addresses cross-agent conflict detection and regulatory compliance with EU AI Act Article 14, and evaluates the framework against known AI/ML attack vectors in an O-RAN deployment model.
