Verification and Self-Improvement in Agentic AI: Foundations and Limits
Agentic AI systems can improve by searching longer, receiving additional support, or modifying how they propose and verify outputs.
Key points
- We compare these changes through bounded verification with hidden terminal randomness.
- We prove that independent majority amplification preserves both languages, whereas existential acceptance over random tapes can admit incorrect outputs.
- The randomized-verifier classes satisfy $Σk^{P}\subseteqΣk^{RV}\subseteqΣ{k+1}^{P}$; strict enlargement and depth separation require explicit complexity assumptions, while $BPP=P$ yields exact companions with the same frontiers.
- For recursive self-improvement, uniformly bounded self-modification under a common sound interpreter and fixed verification protocol remains within the same verification class.
