University of Florida computer science professor Sumit Jha, Ph.D., is working to keep agents from “going rogue.” Jha and his team have developed a system that can detect when an AI model begins to from its assigned task and steer it back without retraining the model or adding significant computing demands.

The research comes as news reports have chronicled AI agents gaining more autonomy and occasionally behaving in ways their developers did not intend...

Computer scientists at The University of Texas at Austin have taught an artificial intelligence agent how to do something that usually only humans can do – take a few quick glimpses around and infer its whole environment, a skill necessary for the development o...
