Challenges of Assured Autonomy

Author(s)

D. Richard Kuhn

Abstract

This article summarizes some recent novel approaches to the problem of verification, testing, and assurance of autonomous systems. These include proxy verification and combinatorial methods for input space coverage measurement, which also has applications to explainable artificial intelligence. The ideas are evolving rapidly and likely to lead to interesting advances in reliability engineering.
