Roadmap for safe AI integration

AI Safety Requirements in Aerospace

Explore the gaps between AI’s black-box behavior and aerospace’s demand for deterministic processes. Learn how EASA is tackling these challenges through its W-shaped assurance process.

Risk Mitigation and System Performance

Discover how to model edge cases, handle non-deterministic behavior, and ensure your AI systems meet latency, accuracy, and explainability benchmarks.

AI-Specific Testing Approaches

Understand how to adapt traditional DO-178C testing methods like fault injection and back-to-back comparison to AI models with non-linear outputs and complex decision pathways.

Lifecycle Management and Validation

Safety doesn’t end at deployment. Learn how to monitor, retrain, and recalibrate AI systems over time while preserving safety integrity and regulatory compliance.

Human-in-the-Loop Oversight

Trust but verify. This paper outlines how to ensure human oversight in AI operations, enabling safe interventions when systems reach the boundaries of their capabilities.
