Adaptive Utility driven Resource Orchestration for Resilient AI (AURORA-AI)

Modern AI systems are increasingly deployed under non-stationary computational, demographic, and operational conditions in which static resource allocation strategies degrade both predictive performance and human-centric properties such as fairness and explainability. This paper presents AURORA-AI, an Adaptive Utility-driven Resource Orchestration framework for Resilient AI that unifies Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman feedback control, Lyapunov-based stability monitoring, and a fairness-aware composite utility into a single closed-loop policy.The framework continuously redistributes computational budget across a population of heterogeneous AI models so that the global utility, defined jointly over predictive performance, demographic parity, cost, latency, robustness, and interpretability, remains maximised under disruption. The framework is evaluated in a stress-rich discrete-time simulation that concurrently injects demographic bias shocks, gradual concept drift, and abrupt black-swan disruptions, and is compared against five established controllers including Static, Round Robin, Greedy, LinUCB, and a deep reinforcement-learning agent based on Proximal Policy Optimisation. AURORA-AI achieves immediate recovery from the black-swan event compared to eighty-eight time steps for the Static baseline and twenty-two for Proximal Policy Optimisation, lifts the alpha-quantile and the super-quantile by twenty-nine and twenty-five percent respectively, simultaneously reduces the mean and maximum demographic parity gap, and increases the fraction of Lyapunov-stable operating steps. These results indicate that fairness-aware adaptive orchestration grounded in stability theory is a practical and theoretically motivated path toward resilient human-centric AI deployment.

Building Trust in AI-Driven Decision Making for Cyber-Physical Systems : A Comprehensive Review

Recent advancements in technology have led to the emergence of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), which seamlessly integrate the cyber and physical domains in various sectors such as agriculture, autonomous systems, and healthcare. This integration presents opportunities for enhanced efficiency and automation through the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). However, the complexity of CPS brings forth challenges related to transparency, bias, and trust in AI-enabled decision-making processes. This research explores the significance of AI and ML in enabling CPS in these domains and addresses the challenges associated with interpreting and trusting AI systems within CPS. Specifically, the role of explainable AI (XAI) in enhancing trustworthiness and reliability in AI-enabled decision-making processes is discussed. Key challenges such as transparency, security, and privacy are identified, along with the necessity of building trust through transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations.
