The threat extends beyond accidental errors. When AI writes the software, the attack surface shifts: an adversary who can poison training data or compromise the model’s API can inject subtle vulnerabilities into every system that AI touches. These are not hypothetical risks. Supply chain attacks are already among the most damaging in cybersecurity, and AI-generated code creates a new supply chain at a scale that did not previously exist. Traditional code review cannot reliably detect deliberately subtle vulnerabilities, and a determined adversary can study the test suite and plant bugs specifically designed to evade it. A formal specification is the defense: it defines what “correct” means independently of the AI that produced the code. When something breaks, you know exactly which assumption failed, and so does the auditor.

Sometimes we want to do prove more interesting things with a digital credential. For example, imagine that I want to join a cryptocurrency exchange that needs more complicated assurances about my identity. For example: it might require that I’m a US resident, but not a resident of New York State (which has its own regulations.) The site might also demand that I’m over the age of 25. (I am literally making these requirements up as I go.) I could satisfy the website on all these fronts using the digitally-signed driver’s license issued by my state’s DMV. This is a real thing! It consists of a signed and structured document full of all sorts of useful information: my home address, state of issue, eye color, birthplace, height, weight, hair color and gender. In this world, the non-anonymous solution is easy: I just hand over my digitally-signed license and the website verifies the properties it needs in the various fields.
