New research leverages machine learning to estimate muscular fatigue during physically demanding tasks where humans and robots work side-by-side.
Beyond Autonomy: The Need for AI That Knows What It Doesn’t Know
![An agent demonstrates proactive knowledge acquisition by identifying gaps in a user’s existing understanding-delineated by known knowledge ([latex]KK[/latex]), known unknowns ([latex]KU[/latex]), and unknown unknowns ([latex]UK[/latex])-and systematically expanding the boundary between what is known and what remains uncertain.](https://arxiv.org/html/2602.15259v1/input_files/Intro_1.jpg)
A new perspective argues that truly proactive artificial intelligence requires agents to recognize and respect the limits of their own understanding, moving beyond simply maximizing independent action.
