The Verification Bottleneck
The Verification Bottleneck happens when a computer generates information so quickly that the human experts meant to check it for accuracy can't keep up, leading to a pile-up where work stops while people struggle to read every line.
A systemic failure state where human-in-the-loop review becomes the primary constraint on throughput; adding more reviewers fails to resolve the issue because the rate of AI generation fundamentally exceeds the cognitive bandwidth of domain experts, necessitating a shift from manual oversight to automated verification architectures.
The failure of relying on human review to scale verification: generation outpaces the human capacity to validate, and 'add more reviewers' recreates the bottleneck. Fixed by architecture (Logic Pipes, verification engines), not by heroics. (C4AIL.)
