This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $500,000 to Wright State University to develop an open engineering framework for incorporating reliable knowledge modules into artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The project, titled "Prototyping a New Knowledge Resource for Modern AI (PROTO-KAI)", aims to address critical knowledge gaps in modern AI systems, including large language models and robotic systems, that limit their ability to reason about the world and make reliable decisions. The research activities include identifying industry-use cases requiring axiomatic knowledge, surveying existing knowledge sources, and prototyping implementations to quantify the benefits of the framework compared to other methods. This work is intended to strengthen the reliability and trustworthiness of AI systems used in critical national infrastructure, support American competitiveness in AI development, enable safer deployment of AI in sensitive applications, and advance the development of AI systems that can provide formal guarantees about their behavior and decisions.
