Initiated by VDA, a consortium of OEMs, suppliers, technology providers and scientific institutions is developing a methodology for a novel safety argumentation in the project “KI Absicherung” (safe AI) that systematically identifies insufficiencies of AI-based functions, makes them measurable and mitigates them. The project stems from the “VDA-Leitinitiative” (flagship initiative). An industrial consensus for a methodical approach is to be achieved which is demonstrated using the example of pedestrian detection.enjournal article
