Incompleteness of AI Safety Verification via Kolmogorov Complexity

📰 ArXiv cs.AI

AI safety verification is limited by information-theoretic bounds related to Kolmogorov complexity

advanced Published 7 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Formalize policy compliance as a verification problem over encoded system behaviors
  2. Analyze the problem using Kolmogorov complexity to identify intrinsic information-theoretic limits
  3. Recognize that verification limitations arise from these limits rather than just combinatorial complexity or model expressiveness
  4. Develop new verification approaches that account for these information-theoretic bounds
Who Needs to Know This

AI researchers and engineers working on safety-critical systems benefit from understanding these limitations to develop more effective verification methods
