Safety Critical Task

Safety-critical tasks, demanding reliable performance with minimal risk of catastrophic failure, are a central focus in artificial intelligence research. Current efforts concentrate on developing robust reinforcement learning algorithms, including model-based and model-free approaches, often incorporating safety constraints through techniques like projection, recovery mechanisms, or human intervention. These methods aim to improve the safety and reliability of AI systems in diverse applications, from robotics and autonomous driving to large language models, addressing challenges such as uncertainty quantification and out-of-distribution detection. The ultimate goal is to create trustworthy AI systems capable of handling high-stakes situations while adhering to strict safety protocols.
