1. Overview of the Safety Ecosystem ISO/PAS 8800, titled 'Road vehicles — Safety and artificial intelligence', was developed to address the unique safety challenges posed by Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in automotive applications. It does not replace the existing safety standards; rather, it acts as a specialized supplement. To understand its role, one must look at the two primary pillars of automotive safety: ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ISO 21448 (Safety of the Intended Functionality, or SOTIF).

2. Interaction with ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) ISO 26262 focuses on hazards caused by malfunctions in electrical and electronic (E/E) systems. These are typically divided into systematic failures (e.g., software bugs) and random hardware failures.
