arXiv:2607.06630v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Formal robustness certificates for embedded neural-interface models can pass while task accuracy collapses: at perturbation budget e=0.25, EEGNet classification accuracy drops by 25.7% under projected-gradient attack while the Lipschitz-style certificate remains valid for all 9 tested subjects. We argue that this gap between mathematical certification and operational safety is one instance of a broader alignment failure in neural interfaces, where training objectives diverge from user welfare. We propose a unified empirical audit framework organi
The increasing deployment of neural interface models in critical embedded systems necessitates robust safety guarantees, highlighting a critical gap between theoretical certification and practical operational safety.
This research reveals a fundamental flaw in current AI safety certification methods, particularly for neural interfaces, indicating potential risks in real-world applications where model behavior under adversarial conditions is not adequately captured by existing certificates.
The understanding of AI safety shifts from mere mathematical certification to demanding empirical audit frameworks, emphasizing alignment failures between training objectives and user welfare, especially in embedded neural interfaces.
