Integrating AI into Functional Safety Management  

Integrating AI into Functional Safety Management  

SAFEXPLAIN is developing an AI-Functional Safety Management methodology that guides the development process, maps the traditional lifecycle of safety-critical systems with the AI lifecycle, and addreses their interactions. AI-FSM extends widely adopted FSM methodologies that stem from functional safety standards to the the specific needs of Deep Learning architecture specifications, data, learning, and inference management, as well as appropriate testing steps. The SAFEXPLAIN-developed AI-FSM considers recommendations from IEC 61508 [5], EASA [6], ISO/IEC 5460 [3], AMLAS [7] and ASPICE 4.0 [8], among others.
