Artificial Intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) tools are continually becoming integrated in more technical capabilities including as control systems for mission critical systems and systems whose failure could result in danger to life and property. AI/ML techniques, especially neural networks, can be extremely opaque to understanding the actual means of arriving at a decision. The Soteria tool kit provides an ability to analyze AI/ML components to validate correct operation and identify conditions under which the component may reach an adverse decision. This capability is not only critical for government applications but across a wide variety of sectors across society. The potential avenues for transition in both military/DoD, civilian and commercial are significant.
Benefit: The benefits of the solution are not only applicable to validating correct operation of AI/ML components within military settings but can be applied to a variety of industries where adverse decisions and actions by AI/ML components could compromise safety or cause loss of life, significant financial losses or property damage.
