  • 证明了静态符号审查策略的容量极限,揭示复杂度与质量下降关系
  • 发现掩码会掩盖能力信号,建议先验可行性检查

AI系统越来越多地将决策权交给专业模型、评估器、工具和监管控制器。核心问题已不仅是模型准确率,而是不确定性感知的治理:应授予多少自主权、哪些证据用于校准信任、委托AI系统能维持的性能上限,以及何时需要人工介入。本文提出最小充分监督原则(MSO),一种在费舍尔信息流形上最小化治理负担的同时满足交付约束的变分原理。其欧拉-拉格朗日解给出任务空间上的水灌式授权分配。基于揭示动作的受控委托通道模型,我们证明了静态符号级审查策略的容量定理,推导出工作流复杂度与质量退化的局部一阶近似关系,并提出以漂移为主导的自主时间缩放律,关联干预时机与有效容量、复杂度及漂移。在此框架下,掩码表现为结构性治理病理:修正后的性能可能隐藏校准信任所需的能力信号。合成仿真与半真实重构工作流支持上游优先修正、基于敏感性的干预以及扩展自主权前的显式可行性检查等设计建议。最终形成一个可计算的不确定性、规划与监督框架。配套Python工具包见https://github.com/crbazevedo/delegation-lab。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

AI systems increasingly delegate decisions to specialized models, evaluators, tools, and supervisory controllers. The central AI problem is no longer only model accuracy, but uncertainty-aware governance: how much autonomy to grant, which evidence should calibrate trust, what performance ceiling a delegated AI system can sustain, and when human intervention becomes necessary. We propose the Minimum Sufficient Oversight Principle (MSO), a variational principle for principled autonomy delegation: minimize governance burden on the Fisher information manifold subject to a delivery constraint. The resulting Euler-Lagrange solution yields a water-filling allocation of governed delegation across the task space. Building on a revealed-action governed delegation channel model, we prove a capacity theorem for stationary symbolwise review policies, derive a local first-order approximation relating workflow complexity to quality degradation, and give a drift-dominated autonomy-time scaling law linking intervention timing to effective capacity, complexity, and drift. Within this framework, masking appears as a structural AI-governance pathology: corrected performance can hide the competence signal needed to calibrate trust. Synthetic simulations and a semi-real reconstructed workflow support design prescriptions including upstream-first correction, sensitivity-based intervention, and explicit feasibility checks before autonomy is expanded. The result is a computable framework for uncertainty, planning, and oversight in delegated AI systems. A companion Python package is available at https://github.com/crbazevedo/delegation-lab.
