Abstract:Improvements in autonomy offer the potential for positive outcomes in a number of domains, yet guaranteeing their safe deployment is difficult. This work investigates how humans can intelligently supervise agents to achieve some level of safety even when performance guarantees are elusive. The motivating research question is: In safety-critical settings, can we avoid the need to have one human supervise one machine at all times? The paper formalizes this 'scaling supervision' problem, and investigates its appl… Show more
