Autonomous and Intelligent Systems (AIS)

Overview

New technology comes with unknown obstacles and unintended risks requiring accountable design and lifecycle planning to ensure responsible innovation. As artificial intelligence, autonomous intelligent systems (AIS), machine learning, autonomous vehicles, and robotics advance at a rapid pace, careful considerations need to be made during development and implementation regarding humanity. At IEEE SA, our global community has developed resources and standards globally recognized in the area of applied ethics and systems engineering and continue to develop accessible and sustainable approaches and solutions for pragmatic application of AIS principles and frameworks. IEEE SA offers standards, training and education, certification programs, and more, to empower stakeholders designing, developing, and using Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS). Global participation is encouraged to offer the broadest regional and cultural perspectives required to best contextualize how AIS systems can avoid risk and offer greatest benefit in operation.

Pre-Standardization Activities On Industrial AI

Industrial AIS differs from consumer AIS applications. Participants from large and small corporations, academia, industry, and government agencies collaborate to identify possible overlaps between industrial automation and industrial AI requirements and identify potential gaps that need to be bridged by new standards.
