SUMMARY:𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗜𝗦𝗢/𝗜𝗘𝗖 𝗧𝗦 𝟮𝟮𝟰𝟰𝟬: 𝗔𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 – 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗮𝗳𝗲𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀
DESCRIPTION:Traditional functional safety standards were not built for the non-deterministic\, adaptive\, and data-driven nature of AI. ISO/IEC TS 22440 is the first international standard developed specifically for AI-enabled functional safety in industrial applications. \nReynolds & Moore is hosting a 2-day in-person training\, in partnership with RMAI Safety Certification\, at MassRobotics built around the latest draft of the technical specification. \nThe two days cover the AI safety lifecycle and where it fits within the traditional functional safety lifecycle\, the hazards and failure modes specific to AI systems\, the risk reduction methods that address them\, and application examples drawn from ISO/IEC TS 22440-3. \nSeats are limited to 20 participants\, first-come\, first-served!
