Operating Within the Operational Design Domain: Zero-Shot Perception with Vision-Language Models

Researchers demonstrate that vision-language models (VLMs) can effectively function as zero-shot sensors for perceiving Operational Design Domains (ODDs) in autonomous systems without task-specific training. The study evaluates four VLMs on ODD classification and detection tasks, finding that chain-of-thought prompting with persona decomposition achieves optimal performance, providing a scalable approach for safety-critical autonomous driving applications.

Defining Operational Conditions for Safety-Critical AI-Based Systems from Data

Researchers present a novel Safety-by-Design method to define Operational Design Domains (ODDs) for safety-critical AI systems using data-driven approaches rather than traditional expert-led design. The approach uses kernel-based representations to retroactively characterize environmental conditions from collected data and is validated through aviation collision-avoidance system testing, potentially enabling future certification of AI systems in critical domains.
