AI | Session 9 | 3-4 Jun

This initial consolidate draft reference document for artificial intelligence in regulated automotive safety systems, based on WP.29-195-20, AI-07-08, AI-07-11, AI-07-09, AI-07-10, and AI-07-12, establishes AI use cases and identifies potential risks across the AI lifecycle. The document addresses driving functions including perception, planning and motion control, and end-to-end systems, as well as non-driving functions such as driver assessment and occupant monitoring. It presents six major AI lifecycle risk categories: whole system risks including insufficient documentation and governance; specification risks such as improper definition of intended use; model and training risks including blackbox behaviour and lack of robustness; data management risks such as data poisoning and distribution shift; verification and validation risks including insufficient test coverage; and operational risks including concept drift and limited failure detection. Illustrative risk management practices drawn from standards, research, and regulations are provided for each identified risk to support manufacturers, suppliers, and approval authorities.

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.

GRVA | Session 25 | 18-22 May

9. During the consultations, the experts received information on the progress made by the WP.29 Informal Working Group (IWG) on Artificial Intelligence (AI). The expert from OICA expressed support for the work carried out under Phase 1 of the workplan and encouraged the group to proceed promptly with the activities under Phase 2.

10. GRVA noted the information provided in informal document GRVA-25-16 by the expert from IEEE International, Co-Secretary of the IWG on AI.

WP.29 | Session 199 | 22-26 Jun

Informal working group on Artificial Intelligence
21. The representative of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland introduced the status report of the Informal Working Group on Artificial Intelligence (WP.29-199-17), highlighting the activities carried out to date under paragraphs 6(a) to 6© of the terms of reference. He presented the draft Reference Document for the Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Regulated Automotive Safety Systems (WP.29-199-26) and proposed to extend the mandate of the group by one year or more in order to allow the submission of a working document. He also drew attention to possible areas of work not yet included in the current terms of reference. Several delegations expressed support for extending the mandate by one year to enable completion of the task defined under paragraph 6(d) of the terms of reference. The representative of Canada suggested that the mandate could be extended by two years.

22. WP.29 agreed to extend the mandate of the Informal Working Group on Artificial Intelligence by one year to complete its current tasks and invited the group to consider next steps, as well as potential new areas of work for consideration by WP.29 at its June 2027 session. The representative of the Netherlands (Kingdom of the) expressed his concern on the use of AI in relation to cyberthreats and asked for timely attention on this thread within the IWG on Artificial Intelligence
