exida’s Pathway to Safe Machine Learning (ML)
Recording Date: April 2023
Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are being used more and more in products. There is interest in using ML in safety critical systems, but most existing safety standards were not written with ML in mind.
As the functional safety community waits for guidance from standards on using ML in safety critical tasks, exida is developing a ML assessment scheme.
This webinar will provide an overview of exida’s ML assessment scheme and exida’s planned ML service offerings.
- Assessment against rigorous design process requirements, and
- ML statistical performance analysis, based on Dr. O’Brien’s PhD thesis.
