AI for REAL-world NETwork operation (AI4REALNET), FHNW School of Applied Psychology

School of Applied Psychology


Complementing and enhancing human capabilities with artificial intelligence with regard to the control of critical systems (electricity, railroad and air traffic management).

teaser_ai4realnet_teaser.png

AI4REALNET designs AI-based solutions addressing critical systems (electricity, railway, and air traffic management) traditionally operated by humans, and where AI systems complement and augment human abilities.

Main strategic goals
1) to develop the next generation of decision-making methods powered by AI, which aim at trustworthiness in AI-assisted human control with augmented cognition, hybrid human-AI co-learning and autonomous AI, with the resilience, safety, and security of critical infrastructures as core requirements.

2) to boost the development and validation of novel AI algorithms through existing open-source digital environments capable of emulating realistic scenarios of physical systems operation and human decision-making.

Core elements
a) human-in-the-loop decision making for co-learning between AI and humans.

b) autonomous AI systems relying on human supervision, embedded with human domain knowledge and safety rules.
