AI with Authority, from Application to Silicon
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.21356v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: For sixty years, machine verification has been a major cost overhead, affordable only for exceptional artifacts. Here we report that generative AI inverts this relationship: at AI speed, machine verification is not only economical but essential to productivity --- it is the incorruptible referee that lets one person safely direct autonomous machine work at scale. In five weeks, one researcher on consumer AI subscriptions directed a small fleet of AI agents from application code, through a verified compiler and executive, to a RISC-V processor t
