Revolutionizing Software Safety in the AI Era
The software industry stands at a crossroads, debating the validity of rewriting legacy code in Rust versus advancing into a new frontier of AI-driven formal specifications.
Key Insights:
- Memory Safety vs. Intent: The obsession with “memory safety by syntax” is becoming outdated. The focus should shift to AI generating formal specifications (like Event-B) that are inherently safer.
- A Paradigm Shift: Traditional methods require significant cognitive load from humans. AI can automate proofs, transitioning us from a reliance on a compiler’s borrow checker to mathematical proofs.
- Real-World Impact: The B-Method’s success in safety-critical applications shows a path to defect-free systems, offering a model far beyond the limitations of current languages.
Embrace the future of software: hire architects who design intent, not just code.
