DeepMind's AlphaProof Code mathematically verifies Signal's security at machine-code level

Luiza Jarovsky highlights a new Google DeepMind paper, AlphaProof Code: Verifying Signal's Security at the Machine-Code Level, in which researchers mathematically proved key security properties of libsignal, Signal's reference implementation.
She draws two implications: as the economy becomes an "AI economy," we need security verification independent of developers' claims — regulators may soon demand mathematical evidence that AI-generated software meets safety standards; and fully automated verification is reshaping human oversight, demanding research on keeping humans meaningfully in control.
