This Technical Report provides guidance for the:

- implementation of functional safety principles in artificial intelligence (AI) programming when used as a means for machinery safety applications;

- effective communication between functional safety personnel (who provide the primary technical knowledge of machine(s) system hazards and the application of risk reduction measures) and data scientists / programmers with no or limited machine system knowledge, but who understand the capabilities and limitations of the AI system.

These principles may include internal diagnostics such as component/system integrity during operation and external diagnostics such as environmental effects and communication networks.

This Technical Report is not a replacement for embedded and application functional safety software requirements. Examples and topics used in this Technical Report are non-inclusive of all possible situation / scenarios / applications.
