What does “Autonomous System” mean?

A hypothetical AI system that can perform most intellectual tasks at a human level across many domains.

A shift in real-world input data over time that can degrade model performance.

A software system that can observe, reason, and take actions to achieve a goal, often using tools and memory.

The extra cost in time, compute, or product velocity required to make systems safer and more controllable.

Performance degradation over time as real-world conditions diverge from training assumptions.

The work of making AI systems behave according to human intentions, values, and safety constraints.
