Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based network control includes obtaining data from a network having a plurality of network elements; analyzing the data with one or more Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to determine one or more actions for network control; analyzing the determined one or more actions to determine any risks associated therewith; and one of allowing, modifying, and blocking the determined one or more actions based on the determined risks to safeguard the network. The risks can be based on one or more of (1) non-deterministic behavior AI inference which is statistical in nature, (2) unbounded uncertainty of the AI inference that can result in arbitrarily large inaccuracy on rare occasions, (3) unpredictable behavior of the AI inference in presence of input data that is different than data in training and testing datasets, and (4) malicious input data.
