Agentic methods have emerged as a powerful and autonomous paradigm that enhances reasoning, collaboration, and adaptive control, enabling systems to coordinate and independently solve complex tasks. We extend this paradigm to safety…
We present a methodology for estimating collision risk from counterfactual simulated scenarios built on sensor data from automated driving systems (ADS) or naturalistic driving databases. Two-agent conflicts are assessed by detecting and…
Objective: This paper introduces a patient simulator for scalable, automated evaluation of healthcare conversational agents, generating realistic, controllable interactions that systematically vary across medical, linguistic, and behavioral…
The rapid evolution to autonomous, agentic AI systems introduces significant risks due to their inherent unpredictability and emergent behaviors; this also renders traditional verification methods inadequate and necessitates a shift towards…
Current evaluation methods for autonomous driving prediction models rely heavily on simplistic metrics such as Average Displacement Error (ADE) and Final Displacement Error (FDE). While these metrics offer basic performance assessments,…
Agentic AI systems increasingly act through tool-augmented, multi-step workflows whose failures (unsafe tool use, unauthorised actions, social harm) carry deployment-level consequences. Evaluation practice remains fragmented across isolated…
Autonomous AI agents present transformative opportunities and significant governance challenges. Existing frameworks, such as the EU AI Act and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, fall short of addressing the complexities of these…
Multi-agent LLM systems consistently outperform single-agent baselines, yet practitioners still cannot predict which design works for a new task or diagnose why one fails. We argue this gap persists largely because the field lacks a…
Active traffic management with autonomous vehicles offers the potential for reduced congestion and improved traffic flow. However, developing effective algorithms for real-world scenarios requires overcoming challenges related to…
Systemic risk refers to the overall vulnerability arising from the high degree of interconnectedness and interdependence within the financial system. In the rapidly developing decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem, numerous studies have…
This research introduces the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) TrustBoost Framework, which combines blockchain technology and Explainable AI to address challenges faced by lenders underwriting small business loan applications from low-wealth…
To deploy safe and agile robots in cluttered environments, there is a need to develop fully decentralized controllers that guarantee safety, respect actuation limits, prevent deadlocks, and scale to thousands of agents. Current approaches…
As power systems become more complex with the continuous integration of intelligent distributed energy resources (DERs), new risks and uncertainties arise. Consequently, to enhance system resiliency, it is essential to account for various…
Efforts in this paper seek to combine graph theory with adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) as a reinforcement learning (RL) framework to determine forward-in-time, real-time, approximate optimal controllers for distributed multi-agent…
In recent years, more vulnerabilities have been discovered every day, while manual vulnerability repair requires specialized knowledge and is time-consuming. As a result, many detected or even published vulnerabilities remain unpatched,…
As autonomous agentic AI systems see increasing adoption across organisations, persistent challenges in alignment, governance, and risk management threaten to impede deployment at scale. We present AURA (Agent aUtonomy Risk Assessment), a…
Powerful autonomous systems, which reason, plan, and converse using and between numerous tools and agents, are made possible by Large Language Models (LLMs), Vision-Language Models (VLMs), and new agentic AI systems, like LangChain and…
We investigate an optimal prevention and insurance problem in a general risk setting, where a representative agent is exposed to potential losses. The agent adopts a strategy that combines self-protection, aimed at reducing the frequency of…
Assuring system stability is typically a major control design objective. In this paper, we present a system where instability provides a crucial benefit. We consider multi-agent collision avoidance using Control Barrier Functions (CBF) and…
Mitigating elderly loneliness requires policy interventions that achieve both adaptability and auditability. Existing methods struggle to reconcile these objectives: traditional agent-based models suffer from static rigidity, while direct…
