arXiv:2604.26836v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Predictive safety filters (PSFs) leverage model predictive control to enforce constraint satisfaction during deep reinforcement learning (RL) exploration, yet their reliance on first-principles models or Gaussian processes limits scalability and broader applicability. Meanwhile, model-based RL (MBRL) methods routinely employ probabilistic ensemble (PE) neural networks to capture complex, high-dimensional dynamics from data with minimal prior knowledge. However, existing attempts to integrate PEs into PSFs lack rigorous uncertainty quantificat
The increasing complexity of AI systems, particularly in deep reinforcement learning and model-based RL, necessitates robust safety mechanisms as these technologies move towards real-world application.
This development addresses a critical challenge in deploying advanced AI: building systems that can learn complex dynamics while guaranteeing safety, moving beyond reliance on simplified models.
The integration of probabilistic neural networks with rigorous uncertainty quantification into predictive safety filters allows for scaling deep RL to more complex, high-dimensional control problems while maintaining safety guarantees.
