The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), through its Research and Technology Development program (CFDA 12.910), awarded a $250,000 Cooperative Agreement to Carnegie Mellon University. The award, with a performance period from September 30, 2025 to September 29, 2027, is funding research to enable embodied artificial intelligence (AI) agents to make safe and uncertainty-aware decisions. The proposed work aims to generalize safe control paradigms to the learned latent state space of generative AI models, unifying uncertainty quantification, representation learning, and safe control. This will enable embodied AI agents to prevent nuanced safety hazards and withdraw from uncertain situations outside their nominal operating conditions. The research seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in safe and uncertainty-aware decision-making for AI systems operating in open-world environments.
