Key AI Safety Concepts in ISO/PAS 8800

ISO/PAS 8800, titled Road vehicles — Safety and artificial intelligence, provides a dedicated framework for managing safety risks specifically introduced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in automotive applications. This lesson explores the foundational concepts that underpin the standard.

1. AI Safety vs. Functional Safety

Traditional functional safety (ISO 26262) focuses on hazards caused by malfunctioning electronic systems. In contrast, AI safety in ISO/PAS 8800 addresses risks stemming from the performance limitations of the AI itself, even when the hardware and software are functioning as designed. This aligns closely with SOTIF (Safety of the Intended Functionality) principles.

2. Robustness and Reliability
