    Uncertainty in autonomous systems, part 1
    Not just a question of perception

    Cognitive systems are often affected by the problem of uncertainty, particularly if those systems use machine learning to perceive their environments. A system’s sensors are not the only source of uncertainty, however. The life cycle of any highly complex system involves a large number of decisions that are vulnerable to the effects of uncertain knowledge. Part 1 of our series on uncertainty focuses on the latest developments in this technology.

    Operational Design Domain
    Narrow frame provides safety

    The Operational Design Domain (ODD) precisely defines the area in which automated driving functions may be used. As such, they represent a fundamental prerequisite for safe automated driving. Part 1 of a three-part series on the importance of ODD.

    The story of resilience, Part 1
    Understanding resilience

    Resilience is a key ingredient for lifting cars, industrial manufacturing and medical devices to the next level. It is far more than a fancier synonym of dependability. And the aspect that resilience is standing for is essential for building cognitive systems. That's why resilience is the focus of a new series on the Safe Intelligence Blog. In the first part, we will look behind the term and clarify why resilience is so important and why it is more than just a synonym for dependability.

    13 typical pitfalls when adopting cloud technologies

    Software development is a comparatively young, but complex and quickly evolving field. One of the more recent additions to the common portfolio of software architects is cloud technologies. In general terms, cloud technologies decouple software and the resources required for running. This allows services provided by the software to be quickly scaled according to demand. Nevertheless, there are several pitfalls that can be encountered when integrating cloud technologies into your software architecture.

    Events
    Safety Season at Fraunhofer IKS

    Safety will be the topic of focus at Fraunhofer IKS from September to November. Three events with different focal points will address the topic of safety in connection with complex software systems in various industries, primarily autonomous cognitive systems.

    Medicine
    Improving intensive care with artificial intelligence

    Hospital staff usually suffer from enormous workloads and staff shortages, especially in intensive care units. This has consequences for patients, particularly when facing the prospect of multi-organ failure. In the future, Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to enhance the application of a clinical multi-organ support system to further optimize patient treatment.

    Safe Intelligence for Laboratories: a »prediction magic«

    While many current CDS expert systems (Clinical Decision Support) in laboratories are being criticized due to difficulty in scaling, constant review from the medical perspective and limited data cases, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a highly plausible alternative. »Safe Intelligence for Laboratories«, a webinar hosted by Fraunhofer IKS, focused on the cases and challenges of AI in laboratories from the perspectives of both industry and patients.
