AI Agent Safety Framework

An AI Agent Safety Framework is a safety framework that establishes risk mitigation strategies, safety constraints, and failure prevention mechanisms for AI agent systems (to prevent harmful behavior and ensure safe operation).

• AKA: Agent Safety Framework, AI Agent Risk Framework, Autonomous Agent Safety System, Agent Safety Architecture.
• Context:
  • It can typically implement AI Agent Safety Constraints through action boundarys and capability restrictions.
  • It can typically enforce AI Agent Safety Monitors through behavior tracking and anomaly detection.
  • It can typically provide AI Agent Safety Interventions through emergency stops and fallback mechanisms.
  • It can typically establish AI Agent Safety Validations through pre-deployment testing and safety certification.
  • It can typically maintain AI Agent Safety Audits through decision logging and impact assessment.
  • ...
  • It can often enable AI Agent Safety Training through safe exploration and reward shaping.
  • It can often support AI Agent Safety Verification through formal methods and proof systems.
  • It can often facilitate AI Agent Safety Communication through intent signaling and explanation generation.
  • It can often provide AI Agent Safety Recovery through rollback mechanisms and state restoration.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Minimal AI Agent Safety Framework to being a Comprehensive AI Agent Safety Framework, depending on its AI agent safety coverage.
  • It can range from being a Reactive AI Agent Safety Framework to being a Proactive AI Agent Safety Framework, depending on its AI agent safety timing.
  • It can range from being a Hard AI Agent Safety Framework to being a Soft AI Agent Safety Framework, depending on its AI agent safety enforcement.
  • It can range from being a Domain-Specific AI Agent Safety Framework to being a General AI Agent Safety Framework, depending on its AI agent safety application scope.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with AI Agent Governance Frameworks for policy alignment.
  • It can connect to Monitoring Systems for real-time oversight.
  • It can interface with Human Oversight Systems for intervention capability.
  • It can communicate with Incident Response Systems for failure handling.
  • It can synchronize with Testing Frameworks for safety validation.
  • ...
• Example(s):
  • Technical AI Agent Safety Frameworks, such as:
    • Reward Hacking Prevention Framework for objective misalignment.
    • Capability Control Framework for power limitation.
    • Robustness Framework for adversarial defense.
  • Operational AI Agent Safety Frameworks, such as:
    • Deployment Safety Framework for rollout control.
    • Runtime Safety Framework for execution monitoring.
    • Update Safety Framework for version management.
  • Domain AI Agent Safety Frameworks, such as:
    • Medical AI Agent Safety Framework for healthcare applications.
    • Financial AI Agent Safety Framework for trading systems.
    • Autonomous Vehicle Safety Framework for driving systems.
  • ...
• Counter-Example(s):
  • AI Agent Performance Framework, which optimizes efficiency rather than safety.
  • AI Agent Development Framework, which enables creation rather than safety assurance.
  • General Software Safety Standard, which lacks AI-specific considerations.
  • Human Safety Protocol, which addresses human risk rather than AI agent risk.
