New AI Theory Addresses Representation Adequacy Risks

A new theoretical framework for self-certification of representation adequacy in AI agents has been proposed. This framework addresses the risk of agents making suboptimal decisions due to compressed representations that alias different optimal actions. The theory introduces a four-layer approach, including static and sequential layers, to ensure that agents can detect and mitigate irreducible losses. The sequential layer frames certification as an optimal-stopping problem, defining a certification complexity constant and an information-task-loss lower bound, with a proposed Certification Track-and-Stop policy that asymptotically matches this bound.
