Sharing Bengio's Bayesian Oracle safety paper — but with the wrong link

burny_tech · x · 2026-11-10

The author shares Yoshua Bengio's paper "Can a Bayesian Oracle Prevent Harm from an Agent?" on designing ML systems with probabilistic safety guarantees, where run-time bounds on the probability of violating safety specifications act as guardrails against dangerous agent actions. Note: the attached arXiv link actually points to the unrelated 2017 paper "Sharp Minima Can Generalize For Deep Nets."
