Abstract
On June 13th, 2024 at 5.30 pm, a new appointment of the “Thursday meetings – A glance to the future at cocktail-hour”, organized by EIIT – CNR Institute, will take place online by Microsoft Teams.The series of fortnightly meetings deal with specific themes connected to IEIIT – CNR institute with transversal vision through application domains and technological areas with particular attention to their evolutions.
The new seminar will be held by Prof. Simon Burton (University of York) on the following subject "Safety under uncertainty: Automotive standards for AI safety and research perspectives".
This presentation describes the challenges related to the use of AI in safety-critical automotive applications (for example, automated driving). An overview of the upcoming standard ISO PAS 8800 Road Vehicles - Safety and AI will be provided, as well as the wider context of safety standards in this area. The presentation will then motivate the structure and key concepts of ISO PAS 8800 and present how existing approaches to safety of automotive E/E systems are extended for AI and ML-based functions. As a summary and conclusion, open research challenges will be presented. In particular, the need to address uncertainty in the assurance arguments for such systems and how this uncertainty can be evaluated and reduced.
