Understanding Operator Attitudes Toward AI-Supported Decision Making in Maritime Operations

The study surveyed maritime professionals on their attitudes toward AI‑supported decision assistants in collision‑avoidance scenarios. Results show a generally positive disposition toward maritime technology, stable trust across scenarios, and nuanced, scenario‑sensitive ratings of explanation quality. Open‑ended feedback highlighted the importance of decision‑support, situational awareness, and confidence‑building, while raising concerns about AI reliability, over‑reliance, and loss of expertise.

AeroCopilotBench: A Two-Tier Benchmark for Evaluating LLM Agents as Aviation Copilots in an Interactive Virtual Cockpit Environment

arXiv:2608. 16349v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents may assist flight crews with complex decisions and task execution, but existing aviation evaluations centered on static knowledge do not support systematic testing of procedural execution and safety compliance in interactive environments.

Towards Trustworthy Autonomous Robots: An Explainable AI-Based Decision Framework

The paper introduces TRACE, a Transparent Reasoning Architecture for Credible Execution, which provides an explainable AI-based decision framework for autonomous robots. TRACE structures decision-making into four auditable layers—Semantic Perception, Belief Reasoning, Action Synthesis, and Execution Verification—to ensure every action can be traced back to sensor evidence through documented causal chains. Experimental results on warehouse robot navigation show high evidence traceability (98.6%), temporal continuity (99.0%), and decision reconstructability (98.1%) across 500 simulated decision cycles.
