Formal verification is becoming the ultimate safeguard for software quality — using mathematical proof rather than testing to guarantee that a program's behavior fully matches its specification. This matters especially in the AI era: when code is generated at scale by models, only formal verification can rule out hidden defects at the logical level. Lean4 is a formal language that combines strong expressiveness with efficient automation; built on dependent type theory, it can express programs, proofs, and mathematical definitions within a single logical framework. With AI-driven automation strategies — such as proof search, invariant synthesis, and automatic step completion — Lean4 significantly lowers the barrier to formal verification, giving critical systems machine-checkable correctness guarantees before release.
