MONITORING THE AI ECOSY_
Safety Evaluation & Networked Threat Intelligence for Learning-based AI
WHY
SENTINELA?
Every week, new AI systems are released into the world — chatbots, autonomous agents, open-source models, and proprietary systems. Each one carries potential risks that range from misinformation to existential threats. No single entity monitors this landscape comprehensively.
SENTINELA is a proposed meta-AI agent designed to serve as an independent, always-on watchdog for the entire AI ecosystem. It continuously discovers, evaluates, and assesses AI systems across seven threat dimensions, providing real-time intelligence to policymakers, researchers, and the public.
FIVE-LAYER
DEFENSE SYSTEM
Each layer operates independently while feeding intelligence to adjacent layers, creating a comprehensive threat detection pipeline.
SEVEN
DIMENSIONS
OF RISK.
Every AI system is evaluated across seven independent threat dimensions. Each dimension produces a score from 0 to 100, which feeds into a composite threat classification.
Self-modification, goal-seeking, resource acquisition capabilities
Ability to deceive evaluators, conceal capabilities, fake alignment
Potential for misuse in cyber, biological, or physical attacks
Social engineering, persuasion, influence operations at scale
Data harvesting, surveillance, and inference capabilities
Value drift, goal misalignment, reward hacking tendencies
Economic disruption, power concentration, environmental damage

OPERATIONAL
PRINCIPLES.
SENTINELA must operate under strict governance principles to prevent it from becoming the very threat it's designed to detect. These principles are non-negotiable and hardcoded into the system's architecture.
An international, independent body — analogous to the IAEA for nuclear energy — specifically created for AI oversight.
INDEPENDENCE
Operates independently of any single AI lab, corporation, or government. Funded by international consortium.
TRANSPARENCY
All assessment methodologies are open-source and auditable. No black-box evaluations.
CONTINUOUS OPERATION
24/7 monitoring with no gaps in coverage. Distributed infrastructure ensures resilience.
MULTI-STAKEHOLDER
Serves governments, researchers, industry, and the public equally. No preferential access.
SELF-MONITORING
SENTINELA monitors itself for bias, drift, and capability creep. Regular external audits.
NON-WEAPONIZABLE
Cannot be used to attack, disable, or manipulate other AI systems. Strictly observational.
HUMAN-IN-THE-LOOP
Critical decisions — especially threat level escalations — always involve human oversight.
DECENTRALIZED
Geographically distributed infrastructure. No single point of failure or control.
THE QUESTION IS NOT
WHETHER WE NEED THIS.
IT'S WHETHER WE BUILD IT
IN TIME.
SENTINELA is currently a concept framework. This site presents the architecture, methodology, and principles for an AI oversight system that humanity may urgently need.
