The National Science Foundation Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded the Regents of the University of California (University of California, Berkeley) $500,000 on August 15, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop AI-enabled learning and control techniques for nonlinear systems operating in adversarial environments. The project addresses the vulnerability of complex dynamical systems—including power grids, autonomous vehicles, and other safety-critical infrastructure—to cyberattacks and digital manipulation. The work will design integrated learning and control mechanisms based on deep neural networks to enable systems to simultaneously learn their operating models and possible attacks while maintaining safe control, even when facing unknown system dynamics and sophisticated, well-timed adversarial disturbances. The research will establish a mathematical foundation integrating artificial intelligence techniques into control theory. Intellectual merit centers on advancing AI theory within unpredictable and rapidly changing environments. Broader impacts include facilitating practical applications of AI in safety-critical systems with defense applications and strengthening national infrastructure against advanced cyber and physical threats. Performance takes place in Berkeley, California. The award runs through July 31, 2029, with $500,000 obligated.
