Reflections On A Decade Of AI (Part 3)

As shown in the figure below, initially the use of electronics hardware (HW Paradigm) injected a powerful new capability for system designers, and accompanying safety methodologies were developed to harness the power of electronics. In the last 30 years, software has become available as a powerful new capability, and again safety methodologies had to evolve. Today, we are the starting point of the AI Paradigm, and leveraging this powerful tool requires progress on the safety methodology front.
