arXiv:2606.30107v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: An unreliable language model can be made to produce reliable physical designs if the authority to assert is moved out of the model: the model proposes, and a deterministic engine alone certifies, returning certified, impossible, or unknown. We introduce Physics-Anchored Certification (PHACT), a propose-certify loop spanning five scientific domains, and identify what makes such a certificate trustworthy. A checker that accepts a model-supplied value can be forged; deriving the certified quantity from fixed inputs instead makes forgery impossible
The increasing deployment of large language models in critical design applications necessitates robust certification methods to ensure reliability and safety, addressing growing concerns about AI hallucinations and errors.
This development offers a practical framework to integrate unreliable generative AI into high-stakes engineering and physical design processes, mitigating risks while leveraging AI's creative potential.
The authority in AI-driven design shifts from the generative model to a deterministic certification engine, enabling trusted outputs from inherently probabilistic systems.
