New architecture enforces statistical rigor in AI discovery

Researchers have developed a functional architecture to enhance statistical rigor in AI-driven scientific discovery, aiming to prevent the generation of spurious findings. This system employs a Haskell-based Research monad to enforce hypothesis testing within an error budget and a sandboxed environment that physically isolates validation data from the LLM code execution. The architecture includes a machine-checked Lean 4 formalization of an online false-discovery-rate control procedure, verified through to a SPARK/Ada implementation using IEEE 754 arithmetic. Simulations show the system effectively controls the false discovery rate, maintaining it near 1% against a 5% target, significantly outperforming naive approaches that reached 41%. AI
