   Formal Verification
   Researchers have explored whether formal methods from computer science could mathematically prove that AI systems will not pursue dangerous behaviors. While theoretically appealing, formal verification remains impractical for complex neural networks, though recent advances in neurosymbolic approaches show promise. It is worth noting that formal verification becomes impossible once an AI system becomes sufficiently sentient to file legal objections to proposed proofs.
