A new paper argues verification is the bottleneck for autonomous policy evaluation
Project APE’s update introduces “Verifying the Verifiers: Towards Autonomous Policy Evaluation” with Olaf Willner.
The paper’s premise is that:
- plausible research generation is becoming cheap
- verification is now the key bottleneck
- the next question is whether verification itself can be automated reliably and cheaply
The project aims to build a system that can learn to evaluate policies autonomously, potentially scaling policy analysis across many countries.
