Sensitivity of Logic Learning Machine for reliability in safety-critical systems

Nowadays Artificial Intelligence (AI) is bursting in many fields, including critical ones, giving rise to reliable AI, that means ensuring safety of autonomous decisions. As the false negatives may have a safety impact (e.g., in a mobility scenario, prediction of no collision, but collision in reality), the aim is to push false negatives as close to zero as possible, thus designing ‘`safety regions’' in the feature space with statistical zero error. We show here how sensitivity analysis of an eXplainable AI model drives such statistical assurance. We test and compare the proposed algorithms on two different datasets (physical fatigue and vehicle platooning) and achieve quite different conclusions in terms of results that strongly depend on the level of noise in the dataset rather than on the algorithms at hand.
