Google DeepMind said on November 10 that its AI framework AlphaProof Code spent about four weeks formally proving key security properties of Signal's real implementation, work that has historically taken expert teams years. When two real, already-fixed bugs were put back into a test copy, the system proved those versions were insecure. The proofs cover specific expert-reviewed properties, not every part of the Signal app, and the results are DeepMind's own.
