ISO 8800 - Safety and Artificial Intelligence
Over the past few years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed the automotive industry, reshaping how vehicles function and interact with their environment. Innovations like machine learning are expected to empower vehicles with the ability to handle complex decision-making, navigate difficult conditions, and seamlessly communicate with other vehicles and infrastructure.
Despite these advancements, the use of AI in vehicles raises significant safety challenges. Ensuring the reliability and safety of AI-driven systems is critical to preventing accidents and safeguarding lives. The new ISO 8800 standard is set to address these concerns, providing a robust framework to guide the safe deployment of AI in road vehicles.
Benefits of ISO 8800
- Enhanced Safety for AI-Driven Systems - ISO 8800 ensures the safe integration of AI technologies in automotive systems, mitigating risks associated with AI-driven decisions and behaviors, and promoting overall vehicle safety.
- Complementary to Existing Standards - The standard works alongside ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) and ISO 21448 (Safety of the Intended Functionality) to provide a comprehensive framework for managing safety in systems that include AI components.
- Focus on Real-World Scenarios - The standard covers safety considerations not only for AI systems within the vehicle but also for external AI elements that could directly or indirectly impact vehicle safety, ensuring a holistic safety approach.
- Facilitates Innovation with Safety Assurance - Automotive developers can innovate confidently, knowing that ISO 8800 provides a structured approach to balancing technological advancements with critical safety requirements.
Application Scope
- For systems that do not contain AI models, the ISO 26262 series applies.
- For systems that do contain AI models, the ISO 8800 is applied in combination with ISO 26262 series.
