Semantic Integrity Constraints: Declarative Guardrails for AI-Augmented Data Processing Systems
Summary: Introduces semantic integrity constraints (SICs), declarative guardrails that generalize database integrity constraints to LLM-derived query outputs. Supports grounding, soundness, and exclusion via proactive/reactive enforcement integrated into query planning and runtime execution. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
