Soraya Partow, a Spring 2026 M.S. graduate in Computer Science, presented two papers at the 2026 IEEE International Conference on AI and Data Analytics (ICAD) in Boston. The research was part of her thesis work, completed under the guidance of Dr. Satyaki Nan.
Her first paper, “From Belief to Behavior: Modeling and Tracking Moral Alignment in Autonomous Agents,” examines how autonomous AI agents can be modeled and monitored so their decisions and actions remain aligned with moral and ethical expectations. Her second paper, “VAST-Blockchain: Hybrid Ledger Anchoring for Verifiable Governance and Auditability of Aligned AI,” presents a blockchain-based framework for creating transparent and verifiable records that support governance, accountability, and auditability in aligned AI systems.
Together, the papers contribute to the development of more trustworthy, accountable, and ethically aligned autonomous AI systems.
