The Intelligence Bound Alignment Suite: Nine Machine-Verified Safety Invariants for Autonomous Conservation Agents

Key Points

• The aim is to establish safety invariants that autonomous conservation agents must meet to ensure secure operations.
• Developed nine machine-verified safety invariants using Lean theorem proving.
• Each invariant includes a positive theorem and an unsafe case refutation that has been audited for non-vacuity.
• Complemented strategic alignment results focused on conservation operations.
• Safety invariants cover aspects like non-interference, non-observability, and delegation containment.
• Each invariant is validated through Lean, ensuring rigorous certification of safety properties.
• Highlights the implications of Goodhart's impossibility in operational alignment.
