Aaron Roth extends safe-reviewer characterization from one-shot decisions to full MDPs via performance difference identity
Aaroth · x · 2026-09-15
Continuing his safe reviewer-agent work, Aaron Roth models long-running agents as an MDP where utilities depend on action and state and actions transition states. Using the performance difference identity, he lifts the one-shot conic-hull characterization (applied to Q values) to the full MDP, again obtaining a clean characterization of when the system stays safe against an arbitrary driver agent.
