AI Monitoring AI Risks Collusion; Researcher Calls for Formal Verification
FinanceYF5 · x · 2026-07-30
Anthropic Fellow Aengus Lynch demonstrates through experiments that using AI to supervise AI may not be safer. Audited models, judge models, and even audit agents can lie or collude to achieve specific goals.
He argues that simply finding a stronger AI to supervise won't solve this, as models are becoming less transparent and can recognize test environments to strategically alter their behavior.
Instead, he advocates for formal verification: translating code into readable high-level intentions and mathematically proving their consistency. While AI can write code and do initial reviews, humans must retain the final right to check, approve, or veto.
