Statement

A formal theory of trust developed at the level of probability frames and Jeffrey–Bolker models guides AI safety engineering work.

Source

projects/deference/faf-cleanroom-2026-10-02/sources/unbounded-embedded/01-primary/summer-research-plan-2026--research-ideas-may-2026.md: "The interpretation that's relevant for us: humans should happily trust AI to make decisions on their behalf precisely when humans totally-trust AI beliefs."; "One big problem with Managing Misalignment is that the approach is not constructive at all"

Notes

Member of the level family. Two routes: through translation to a computability level (conditioned on aq-starting-place) and directly (conditioned on the task aq-engineering-note). The two quotations do not pull against each other: the second is the plan's reason for moving to the logical-induction level (constructiveness-favors-li).
