Model Validation of Agentic AI Systems: A POMDP-Based Framework for Belief-State, Forecast, and Policy Validation

arXiv:2606.17383v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Agentic artificial intelligence systems introduce a new class of model risk. Unlike traditional predictive models, autonomous agents continuously acquire information, form beliefs regarding latent states of the environment, generate forecasts, select actions, and adapt their behavior over time. Existing validation methodologies focus primarily on predictive accuracy and therefore provide limited insight into the quality of the underlying decision process. This paper proposes a model validation framework for agentic AI based on Partially Observa
The rapid deployment of increasingly autonomous AI systems, particularly in critical applications, necessitates robust and specialized validation methods beyond those for traditional predictive models.
This paper highlights the growing recognition of 'model risk' unique to agentic AI, indicating a critical need for new regulatory and operational frameworks to manage complex autonomous systems.
The focus from validating predictive accuracy shifts to validating the entire decision-making process of an AI agent, including its belief state, forecasts, and policy adaptations, suggesting a new standard for AI system assurance.
