The students propose a model to teach responsibility to autonomous AI agents, such as systems or entities like drones, robots, vehicles etc. to perform tasks and operate independently without any human intervention. Autonomous agents are systems or entities like drones, robots, vehicles etc. which can perform tasks and operate independently without any human intervention. The purpose is to have automatic communication between the two to change their priorities or initiate corrective measures. Just Imagine that, if adaptive traffic lights on the road start communicating with each other and regulate the traffic better, or if an autonomous agent (an advanced form of Artificial Intelligence) tells a supply chain manager when is the best time to ship an order, the necessity of human interference will be minimal. In a new study by the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore (IIITB), researchers have come up with a model called Computational Transcendence which can help autonomous agents do these tasks responsibly. Autonomous agents are systems or entities like drones, robots, vehicles etc. which can perform tasks and operate independently without any human intervention. Their application lies in diverse domains like healthcare, agriculture, and mobility among others. Considering the vast applicability where the actions of such agents directly impact humans and other agents in the system, the researchers say that the agents must act responsibly understanding the implications of their actions on others.
