The National Science Foundation's Division of Information and Intelligent Systems awarded $675,000 under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) to Washington University in St. Louis for a three-year project (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2029) focused on technological management of computer networks. The project develops scientific and technical principles for integrating artificial intelligence (AI) agents into network operations while maintaining human authority, accountability, and governance. Deliverables include formalized frameworks establishing division of responsibility between human operators and AI systems, policy-enforcement mechanisms that tie automated actions to human authority, telemetry inspection and operational decision-making protocols, and technical principles for safe delegation of low-level operational tasks within defined boundaries. The research addresses critical national infrastructure needs by creating a foundation for reliable and trustworthy digital infrastructure through automation of repetitive, error-prone network management tasks while preserving human oversight of judgment, policy, and compliance functions. Project outputs encompass scientific methodologies for controllable and robust network system design, evaluation frameworks for AI-assisted operations, training curriculum for students in secure network systems, and technical documentation demonstrating how management, operations, and compliance can be embedded as core properties of network architecture rather than external processes.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
