AI and Functional Safety: Navigating AI in Safety-Critical SoftwareDevelopment

As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into software development, its presence in safety-critical applications is raising new challenges for functional safety and regulatory compliance. Traditional standards and deterministic processes used to verify and validate safety-critical systems often fall short when applied to AI models, which are inherently non-deterministic and continuously evolving.

This webinar, led by Jill Britton, Director of Compliance at Perforce and MISRA committee member, explores the paradigm shift required to ensure AI-enabled systems are safe, secure, and robust. Attendees will gain insights into:

• The limitations of current functional safety standards when applied to AI.
• How AI’s role—whether in development, tooling, or deployed in the field—affects safetyvalidation strategies.
• Emerging standards such as ISO 21448 (SOTIF), ISO/IEC TR 5469, and ISO/DPAS 8800, and their implications for AI system design and verification.
• The intersection of cybersecurity and AI, and the importance of secure software development practices.
• International regulatory efforts including the EU AI Act.

Whether you're developing AI for automotive, aerospace, medical devices, or industrial systems, this session will help you understand the evolving landscape of functional safety and how to adapt your processes to meet new expectations.
