From Alignment to Access Control: A Unified View of GenAI...

Talkat USENIX Security '26 · 2026-08-12..08-14· [security, ai-assisted-development]

Policy definitions vary across security engineering and AI research and that fragmentation breaks enforcement. The talk maps policies onto a concreteness vs enforceability quadrant, shows incidents (database deletion, sycophantic model drift) caused by relying on pretty please policies, and argues concrete rules like role or dataset access must use deterministic enforcement while fuzzy norms need model-steering. It proposes a donut model of residual stochastic holes and a runnable set of fixes: single control plane, standardized agent error codes, enforcement hooks, and conflict resolution for auditability and recovery.
