Future infrastructure will increasingly rely on systems capable of making decisions without immediate human supervision. The unresolved problem is creating architectures that can prove what they did, explain uncertainty, fail safely, and remain controllable during abnormal conditions. The solution must work with limited capital, intermittent services, and local maintenance capacity. The research opportunity is to define measurable success criteria, test the approach in realistic settings, identify failure modes, and create a pathway from prototype to accountable deployment.
