Formal verification aids AI safety but may accelerate hardware iteration race
geoffreyirving · x · 2026-08-29
Geoffrey Irving notes that while formal verification, including for hardware, is exciting for AI safety and treaty enforcement, there is a clear capability downside. Being good at verifying hardware also unlocks superfast iteration on ML-specific hardware optimizations, potentially accelerating an arms race.
