Practical Guidelines and Methods to Verify and Validate AI/ML-Based System for Safety Critical Application

CONFERENCE SUMMARY

A systematic method to formulate the best practices in AI/ML technology is studied. This methodology is based on categorizing the best practices and standard guidelines in three-view model: Data Science, AI/ML pipeline, and Systems Engineering. A feasibility study is successfully performed to demonstrate how AI/ML best practices in three-view model addressing the objectives provisioned for the certification of AI/ML based system for safety critical applications. Additionally, standard checklist for each model view is developed as a practical guideline to verify and validate AI/ML based system.
