让多模态大模型学会识别并应对不确定，提升关键决策可靠性。

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) increasingly answer questions whose correctness depends on visual, textual, temporal, acoustic, document, chart, or embodied evidence. Their failures are therefore not only linguistic. A fluent answer may conceal poor input quality, a perceptual error, weak grounding, conflict between modalities, unstable reasoning, distribution shift, or a question that is not answerable from the supplied evidence. This survey organizes the literature on uncertainty-aware MLLMs around a decision-centered framework: uncertainty sources give rise to observable signals, signals must be calibrated or controlled for risk, and calibrated uncertainty should determine the system action. We review work on token and logit uncertainty, semantic disagreement, perturbation instability, grounding and attribution scores, verbalized confidence, verifier and judge scores, conformal prediction, selective answering, abstention, clarification, retrieval, self-checking, and escalation. The central argument is that uncertainty should not be evaluated only as a confidence number; it should be evaluated by whether it improves behavior under insufficient, conflicting, shifted, or high-risk multimodal evidence. We position this survey against text-only uncertainty and abstention surveys, broad MLLM surveys, MLLM hallucination surveys, and safety-oriented reviews. We conclude with open problems in source-aware decomposition, action-aware benchmarks, calibration under shift, black-box uncertainty estimation, broader modality coverage, reproducible reporting, and human-centered uncertainty communication.
