Safety Principle: AI systems should be safe and secure throughout their operational lifetime and verifiably so where applicable and feasible. When a new car is introduced to the world, it must pass various safety tests to satisfy not just government regulations, but also public expectations. In fact, safety has become a top selling point among car buyers. Whatever the latest generation of any technology happens to be -- from appliances to airplanes -- manufacturers know that customers expect their products to be safe from start to finish. Artificial intelligence is no different.
