Presentation

Qualification of AI/ML systems and interfacing devices

The use of AI/ML is rapidly expanding across safety-critical sectors, including automotive. However, its non-deterministic nature challenges traditional functional safety frameworks like ISO 26262 and IEC 61508, which rely on traceability and predictable behavior. Emerging standards—such as ISO/IEC TR 29119-11, ISO/IEC DTS 25058, ISO PAS 8800, and ISO DTS 5083—aim to address these gaps. Until then, ensuring the reliability, safety, and security of AI-driven systems remains a complex task. This talk explores how the industry can balance the need for innovation with the demands of safety assurance in AI/ML-based automotive applications.
