CMU Proposes Discovery Certification Protocol: Scores Alone Don't Prove AI Research Agent Discoveries
CarnegieMellonU · hf · 2026-09-10
Carnegie Mellon University introduces the Discovery Certification Protocol for auditing AI research agents, arguing that benchmark scores alone cannot prove genuine scientific discovery. The protocol validates outcomes through executable recovery tests, controlled audits, and deterministic verification with finite-sample recovery bounds.
