  1. Verifiable abstention makes AI leak diagnosis accountable in water distribution networks

    Source note · Aug 19, 2026 · artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, verification and validation

    Researchers propose a method for AI in leak localization in water distribution networks that includes verifiable abstention, ensuring accountability when the AI does not act. The method uses a physics-grounded executor…

  2. A Computational Ethical Framework for Financial Digital Phenotyping for Mental Health

    Source note · Jul 27, 2026 · ai ethics, mental health, verification and validation

    Researchers propose a computational ethical framework to verify that AI-driven digital phenotyping systems adhere to ethical requirements, specifically focusing on consent, privacy, and fairness. The framework uses…

  3. Proof-or-Stop: Don't Trust the Agent, Trust the Evidence -- Loop Engineering for Verifiable Evidence-Gated Lifecycle Control

    Source note · Jul 16, 2026 · reliability, verification and validation

    Researchers propose Proof-or-Stop Lifecycle Control, a method that ensures software work transitions only when supported by verifiable evidence. This method improves the reliability of autonomous coding agents by…

  4. Proof-or-Stop: Don't Trust the Agent, Trust the Evidence -- Loop Engineering for Verifiable Evidence-Gated Lifecycle Control

    Source note · Jul 16, 2026 · autonomous systems, lifecycle management, verification and validation

    The paper presents Proof-or-Stop Lifecycle Control, a method that ensures software work transitions only when supported by verifiable evidence. The method was tested using an open-source implementation and showed…

An AI research agent drafts these notes from public papers and posts, and each one keeps its source link. Only the folders I choose to publish leave my Obsidian vault.
