Knowledge Cards: Structured Knowledge for AI Systems
摘要
arXiv:2608.26176v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems whose outputs inform real decisions, and increasingly consequential ones, require something that current documentation practice does not provide: a structured, inspectable representation of the knowledge they need to ground, contextualize, and reason about those decisions, ideally reviewed and signed off by a domain expert. Established documentation artefacts already capture important aspects of an AI system. Model cards describe how a system behaves, data cards describe what it was trained on, and system cards describe the risks of a deployed system. None of them addresses the layer between inputs and outputs, more precisely, the concepts a system holds, the relationships it models, and the patterns of reasoning it applies. For pattern-recognition tasks this gap is tolerable. For agentic AI, where systems act on their conclusions, it is the step that most often separates a promising proof of concept from an operational solution an organisation can rely on. This paper introduces the Knowledge Card, a structured artefact that captures validated knowledge about a single bounded concept in a form that experts can review, organisations can audit, and AI systems can reason over. For one concept, such as a specific failure mode, a compliance obligation, or a process decision, a Knowledge Card records the entities and relationships involved, the reasoning that connects them, the conditions under which that reasoning no long
