Welcome to the IEEE Autonomous Agent Alignment Working Group. The on-going efforts are:

Title: IEEE P3474 Standard for Human Intentions and Artificial Intelligence Alignment in Autonomous Driving Agent

Scope: This standard provides a framework for formulating and evaluating how well the behavior of autonomous driving agents aligns with human intentions. This framework specifies evaluation setups and related data, methods, and metrics. The standard defines a minimum set of scenarios, in which human intentions are encoded through agent behaviors. In each scenario, the standard defines a set of behaviors, where different behaviors reflect different levels of alignment between human expectations and agent behaviors. For instance, in a scenario, we might have three behaviors, A, B, and C, where A is the most expected behavior aligned with human intentions, B is not an expected behavior but acceptable, and C is not an acceptable behavior. Based on that, the minimum requirements for alignments and system interpretability are provided from an evaluation process perspective. This standard applies to autonomous agents on the road, which are implemented by Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, machine learning, or other applicable methods. Complying with this standard helps to achieve that the fundamental performance of self-driving vehicles aligns with human intentions.

WG Policies and Procedures:

• • A participant is an individual involved in the standards development process (see IEEE-SA Standards Board Bylaws Clause 5.2.1 on “Participation in IEEE standards development”). NOTE: Participants can be members or non-members of IEEE, IEEE-SA and/or of the working group.
  • An individual becomes a non-voting member by attending one meeting, providing contact and affiliation information, and requesting membership from the WG Chair (cc WG Secretary). A non-voting member becomes a non-member by not attending any of the last 4 meetings.
  • A non-voting member becomes a voting member by attending 2 of the last 4 meetings and upon sending a request for voting status to the WG Chair (cc WG Secretary) prior to the next meeting. A voting member who has not attended at least 2 of the last 4 meetings becomes a non-voting member.
  • For more details, please see IEEE VTS_AVSC Common Individual WG baseline – 27 August 2020
