Semantic Integrity Constraints: Declarative Guardrails for AI-Augmented Data Processing Systems
Summary: Semantic integrity constraints (SICs): a declarative generalization of DB integrity constraints to specify correctness over LLM outputs in semantic queries (e.g., grounding, soundness, exclusion). Integrates SICs into query planning/runtime with proactive/reactive enforcement to enable reliable, auditable AI-augmented data processing systems while addressing expressiveness, semantics, integration, and performance tradeoffs.
