CSE Seminar: Studies on Neuro-Symbolic Agents for AI Alignment and AI Grounding: A Report from the Trenches
Abstract: With the increasing prevalence of autonomous agents—ranging from hardware-based systems like drones to software-based agents such as chatbots—there has also been a rise in instances where these agents behave in unintended, unsafe, or even dangerous ways. This has driven growing interest in AI grounding and AI alignment. Briefly, an agent exhibiting AI grounding can demonstrate a connection between its outputs and the abstract concepts it represents, while an agent exhibiting AI alignment operates in a manner consistent with user’s intent values, norms. In this talk, I present my ongoing work on addressing these two key challenges. At its core, my research bridges classical symbolic AI with large language model (LLM) based AI. Classical AI agents are robust and provide fail-safe guarantees but suffer from the long-standing knowledge engineering bottleneck. In contrast, LLM-based AI bypasses this bottleneck but is inherently unreliable. My research aims to develop neuro-symbolic agents that combine the strengths of both approaches, ensuring reliability while reducing the need for extensive manual knowledge engineering.
