Clearly, a system whose behaviour is impossible to guarantee seems unsatisfactory from a safety or regulatory perspective. To appreciate why components that incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), and specifically, machine learning, might even be considered, it is helpful to gain a…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being talked about everywhere. Will it help us or hurt us? Will it unlock human potential or replace our jobs with robots? The first wave of AI technology is already established. Machines are already making decisions…

The BSI/AAMI Initiative on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in medical technology is an effort to explore the ways that AI, and in particular machine learning, pose unique challenges to the current body of standards and regulations governing medical technologies. Its aim…

The white paper provides an overview of the CCAV Code of Practice (CoP): Automated Vehicle Trialling, BSI’s CAV standards programme, the current legal framework and the Law Commissions’ recommendations. The white paper is developed to help users navigate the UK’s…

The roadmap is intended to help users visualize the emerging standards landscape for automated driving and key standards relevant to CAVs. It includes both published standards and various ‘live’ standardization projects. The roadmap also includes priority areas for future development,…

Over the past couple of years, the growing debate around automated facial recognition has reached a boiling point. As developers have continued to swiftly expand the scope of these kinds of technologies into an almost unbounded range of applications, an…

A remarkable time of human promise has been ushered in by the convergence of the ever-expanding availability of big data, the soaring speed and stretch of cloud computing platforms, and the advancement of increasingly sophisticated machine learning algorithms. Innovations in…

In 2021 the DRCF established an Algorithmic Processing workstream to explore the impact of algorithms across our industries and regulatory remits. As part of this workstream, we launched two separate research projects – one looking at the harms and benefits…
