Model prediction uncertainty

Towards risk-aware artificial intelligence and machine learning systems: An overview

Zhang et al. (2022)

Sub-category
Risk Domain

AI systems that fail to perform reliably or effectively under varying conditions, exposing them to errors and failures that can have significant consequences, especially in critical applications or areas that require moral reasoning.

"Uncertainty in model prediction plays an important role in affecting decision-making activities, and the quantified uncertainty is closely associated with risk assessment. In particular, uncertainty in model prediction underpins many crucial decisions related to life or safety- critical applications [73]."(p. 6)
