Graduate Level: Agent's Safety Net - Designing Fail-Safes
Design fail-safe systems: detect agent struggles, revert to human control, handle adversarial inputs
An autonomous agent operating in the unpredictable real world will inevitably encounter situations it can't handle. A truly robust agent is designed not just for success, but for graceful failure. This final lesson covers the essential fail-safe mechanisms you must architect to detect when an agent is struggling, revert control to a human, and handle potentially malicious inputs.
