The Competence Shadow: Theory and Bounds of AI Assistance in Safety Engineering
Description
As AI assistants become integrated into safety engineering workflows for Physical AI systems, a critical question emerges: does AI assistance improve safety analysis quality, or introduce systematic blind spots that surface only through post-deployment incidents? This paper develops a formal framework for AI assistance in safety analysis. We first establish why safety engineering resists benchmark-driven evaluation: safety competence is irreducibly multidimensional, constrained by context-depend
