Welcome
Welcome to the IEEE SMC Technical Committee on Trustworthy and Controllable Intelligent Systems (TCIS). The committee advances theories, methods, and applications for intelligent systems that are secure, reliable, transparent, and controllable. As AI is increasingly deployed in autonomous driving, intelligent finance, and cyber-physical infrastructures, ensuring trustworthy operation has become essential. TCIS brings together researchers, engineers, and practitioners from computer science, control theory, and related fields, providing a platform for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and innovation to support intelligent systems that operate safely and effectively in complex real-world environments.
Our Goal
Unlike traditional intelligent systems that mainly prioritize performance, TCIS’s paradigm emphasizes security, reliability, transparency, robustness, and controllability. By integrating advances in AI, control, and engineering, it supports the development of intelligent systems that can adapt safely and remain aligned with human and system objectives. This human-objective alignment is deeply rooted in the consideration of human performance, fully responding to AI’s influence on individuals and teams to avoid developing systems that deviate from social practical needs. The Trustworthy and Controllable Intelligent Systems Technical Committee aims to:
- Expand the theoretical foundations and practical applications of trustworthy and controllable intelligent systems.
- Enhance intelligent systems with stronger security, robustness, transparency, and adaptive control capabilities.
- Foster advances in embodied intelligence, trustworthy decision-making, and intelligent system security.
- Promote standards, ethical guidelines, and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Our goal is to advance intelligent systems that are safe, reliable, and controllable across critical domains.
Mission and Vision
The mission of TCIS is to advance foundational research and engineering practices for trustworthy and controllable intelligent systems operating in complex and dynamic environments. The committee mainly focuses on several research directions, including:
- Controllability of intelligent systems
- Trustworthiness and security of AI systems
- Evaluation and verification of intelligent systems
- Control and security of embodied intelligence systems
- Advanced applications of trustworthy intelligent systems
By integrating expertise from computer science, control engineering, robotics, and cyber-physical systems, the committee aims to develop innovative approaches that address challenges such as intelligent system safety, interpretable decision-making, dynamic system control, and resilience against cyber threats. Our vision is to build a global research ecosystem that enables intelligent systems to operate securely, transparently, and reliably, supporting their responsible deployment across critical domains including autonomous systems, smart infrastructure, intelligent finance, and future cyber-physical environments.
