Stop Talking About Formal Methods

<p>For decades, formal methods were considered theoretical exercises locked in academic labs—too brittle, complicated, and expensive for most production software. But as vital systems and AI-driven infrastructure face ever greater challenges, just testing edge cases by hand is no longer enough. </p><p>Today, we&#39;re joined by Anjana Rajan and Jonathan Ring, co-founders of Atalanta, to explore how they are bridging the software understanding gap.</p><p>They break down how to take high-level mission objectives and translate them into code-level proofs without needing a PhD in mathematics. From securing autonomous nuclear reactors to creating resilient space architectures, discover how formal verification is moving from an academic ideal to an accessible engineering reality.</p>
