ARIA Safeguarded AI: Technical Area 3 Applications
Published
Description
About the programme Backed by £59M, ARIA's programme 'Safeguarded AI' explores if it's possible to formally verify the safety of AI systems through quantitative methods-specifically, exploring a possible pathway for developing a "gatekeeper" AI to understand the real-world interactions and consequences of an autonomous AI agent, and ensure it only operates within agreed-upon guardrails for a given application. The programme is split into three Technical Areas (TAs) which will: - TA1 (Scaffolding) build an extendable, interoperable language and platform to maintain real-world models/specifications and check proof certificates. - TA2 (Machine learning) use frontier AI to help domain experts build best-in-class mathematical models for real-world complex dynamics and leverage frontier AI to train autonomous systems - TA3 (Applications) unlock significant economic value with quantitative safety guarantees by deploying a gatekeeper-safeguarded autonomous AI system in a critical cyber-physical operating context. Lot 1: About TA3 Through TA3, we will look to demonstrate a 'gatekeeper' workflow that could be used to create and maintain decision-support tools and/or safeguard autonomous AI systems to solve specific, economically valuable challenges. As part of this work, teams will elicit functional and non-functional requirements from customers for a proposed product, then outline simplified versions for very concrete use cases. These specifications will serve as the benchmark evaluations for our entire research programme, as we'll look to develop AI systems specifically tailored to solve them. A full set of applications will be determined after the TA3 solicitation, but some applications we're currently considering include: energy system optimisation; infectious disease epidemiology, climate and weather prediction; aircraft and spaceflight dynamics; and control systems for robots in human environments. Additional information: Detail on TA3 solicitation: In early summer, we will launch a solicitation for TA3, in which we're looking for individuals or existing entities (including start-ups, SMEs, non-profits, large companies) interested in using our gatekeeper AI workflow to build safeguarded products for specific tasks. The solicitation will run in two phases: Phase one: In the initial phase, we'll distribute funding to deeply understand customer needs and elicit requirements, this may include: sourcing datasets, designing evaluation suites to validate the performance of predictive models and autonomous or semi-autonomous controllers. Phase two: Successful teams (estimated 2-4 groups total) will then advance to the second phase, where they will receive significant funding to apply the tools developed in the other Technical Areas to their application domain. Our thesis Safeguarded AI: constructing guaranteed safety (https://www.aria.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ARIA-Safeguarded-AI-Programme-Thesis-V1.pdf) gives a detailed overview of how this workstream compliments the whole programme. ARIA Creators (recipients of ARIA's funding), gain access to the programme's research community, ARIA's programme leadership and wider community.
