AI | Session 8 | 24 Apr

This consolidated draft reference document, based on WP.29-195-20, addresses Artificial Intelligence in the automotive sector. It defines AI-based systems as connectionist systems trained using machine learning algorithms. The document identifies AI use cases for driving functions including perception, planning, motion control, and end-to-end systems, plus non-driving functions like driver assessment. It establishes prospective risks across five AI lifecycle stages: specification, model architecture and training, data management, verification and validation, and in-use monitoring. The document provides initial risk management approaches informed by literature review, noting that current regulatory provisions may require evaluation to address AI-specific testing and updating needs.

Excerpts from session reports

WP.29 | Session 195 | 3-7 Mar 2025

18. The representative of UK presented, also on behalf of Germany, a proposal to create a new IWG on Artificial Intelligence (AI) (WP.29-195-20). He proposed four tasks that the new IWG on AI should address: perform a literature review, develop a guidance document on best practices, report back to WP.29 and after that, consider the need for further work. The representative of the EU emphasized that the result of the work of the IWG should not prejudge the needs of contracting parties to take additional steps, such as drafting of regulatory requirements under the umbrella of WP29.

19. The representatives of Canada, China, European Union, France, Netherlands (Kingdom of the), Sweden and the US supported the proposal. The representatives of IEEE and SAE International volunteered to provide secretariat services to the IWG.

20. WP.29 decided to establish a new IWG on AI under WP.29 and requested the interested representatives to prepare its draft ToR for consideration at the June 2025 session of WP.29. WP.29 also concurred with the view of the representative of the US that the leadership of the group should reflect the global representation of WP.29.
