As AI systems scale in complexity and operate in distributed and heterogeneous environments, managing computational burdens with minimal latency has become a critical challenge. Latency-aware deep neural governance models provide a framework in which AI architectures autonomously monitor, prioritize, and redistribute workloads to optimize performance and resource utilization. These models integrate predictive latency estimation, dynamic task scheduling, and intelligent load redistribution, enabling real-time adaptation to changing computational demands. By embedding latency-awareness directly into deep neural representations, governance mechanisms can detect potential bottlenecks, forecast execution delays, and orchestrate workload distribution across multiple nodes or layers in a distributed system. This approach ensures that high-priority tasks receive timely processing while maintaining overall system efficiency and resilience. The framework leverages cooperative multi-agent interactions, self-reflective adaptation, and meta-learning strategies to continuously refine computational governance, producing emergent patterns of intelligent workload management. This paper investigates the theoretical foundations, architectural design, and operational dynamics of latency-aware governance models, highlighting their potential to transform AI computational ecosystems through autonomous prioritization and adaptive redistribution of processing burdens.

Secure AI Model Sharing in Financial Institutions via Blockchain Federated Networks
In the modern financial ecosystem, AI becomes a third-degree spirit for applications like fraud detection, credit scoring, and risk modeling. Due to the strict nature of privacy regulations, concerns regarding data sovereignty, and an existing competitive wall, development of collaborative AI within financial institutions is largely hindered. FL in literature has emerged as a potential mechanism for decentralized model training without the exchange of raw data. FL alone does not guarantee trust, accountability, and verifiability in applications involving multiple stakeholders. This vision paper develops a further methodology by proposing a blockchain-empowered federated learning architecture for secure AI model sharing within financial institutions. The proposed architecture, combining an immutable blockchain ledger and smart contracts with FL workflows, addresses key challenges such as tampering with a model, attribution of ownership to the model, and auditing for compliance. Smart contracts enforce access control policies and validate model contributions, and in turn, the blockchain ledger logs model updates to allow transparent tracing. We emulate the federated learning scenario using TensorFlow Federated on synthetic financial datasets coupled with Hyperledger Fabric for blockchain operations. The experiments reveal that the system works towards optimizing the application of the model while at the same time optimizing its security, accountability, and interoperability. Furthermore, the integration of a blockchain introduces a negligible latency overhead and scales well as more institutional nodes join. This architecture therefore aligns well with emerging privacy regulations and offers a promising pathway for secure, instant, and auditable collaboration on AI models across financial networks. This study contributes an AI sharing mechanism that is secure by design to balance data privacy, institutional trust, and auditability, laying the foundation for resilient and collaborative financial AI ecosystems.

Regret-Minimizing Inventory Policies with Lost Sales and Stochastic Supply Constraints
Inventory management under uncertainty is a central challenge in operations research, particularly when dealing with lost sales and stochastic supply constraints. In such settings, traditional optimization techniques that assume full knowledge of demand and supply distributions often fail to perform well in practice. This paper introduces a regret-minimizing approach to inventory control that evaluates performance relative to the best fixed policy in hindsight, rather than relying on expected cost minimization. The framework is designed to be adaptive, data-driven, and robust to real-time variability in both supply availability and customer demand. We explore the theoretical motivations for using regret as a performance metric, analyze structural characteristics of effective policies, and discuss real-world applications such as humanitarian logistics and e-commerce fulfillment. By focusing on learning-based strategies, this work bridges the gap between online decision theory and practical inventory systems in uncertain environments.

Interweaving Met averse Governance and Predictive Health Analytics for Smarter Policy Making
Bringing metaverse technologies into healthcare is changing the way patients and providers connect, how data flows between systems, and what policy needs to look like in increasingly immersive care environments. As predictive analytics take on a larger role in shaping public health decisions, there’s a growing need to examine how digital governance structures help, or sometimes hold back, the ability to turn predictions into policy that actually works on the ground. This study takes a closer look at where predictive health analytics and metaverse governance meet. The goal is to develop a framework that brings together spatial data systems, AI-powered prediction models, and real-time monitoring tools in a way that informs smarter, more responsive policy decisions. Using a mix of patient data drawn from both virtual and physical settings, the models used in this study, gradient boosting machines, recurrent neural networks, and ensemble classifiers, were trained to predict outcomes like hospital readmission and early indicators of chronic disease. We evaluated their performance using F1-score, ROC-AUC, and precision-recall to make sure the results held up under scrutiny. What we found was that predictive models embedded in well-governed virtual environments tend to drive faster and more targeted policy responses. This was especially true when spatial and wearable data were integrated under clear and accountable data governance protocols. In other words, when the rules of the digital space were clearly defined, the insights produced by the models could actually be used to guide real-time interventions. These findings suggest there's real value in designing predictive systems to fit within the regulatory and ethical structures of healthcare’s digital future. If we’re going to use AI tools to guide decisions in these immersive platforms, those tools need to be transparent, aligned with public interest, and built into systems that can act on the insights they generate. For policymakers and system architects, this means thinking carefully about how to align platform design with responsible AI use, and how to make room for predictive tools that don’t just monitor risk, but help shape better, more equitable health outcomes.
