# Algorithmic-Prohibition Enforceability
**Entity class:** Governance problem
**Domain:** Artificial intelligence / Regulation
**Maturity:** Developed
## Definition
Algorithmic-prohibition enforceability asks whether a government can identify and prevent a prohibited computation across private devices, open models, cloud infrastructure, and international jurisdictions.
## Mechanism and significance
When the prohibited behavior can be implemented through ordinary code or prompting, enforcement pressure can migrate toward pervasive surveillance rather than narrow control of a scarce physical input.
