Agenda item 2.3. Intelligent Transport Systems and coordination of automated vehicles related activities

AI | Session 11 | 2 Sep

This draft reference document consolidates input from documents AI-07-06, AI-09-03, AI-09-04, AI-08-07, and AI-09-05 to fulfill the initial deliverable of the IWG on Artificial Intelligence pursuant to WP.29/1190. The document addresses AI uses and benefits in automotive, establishes AI use cases prioritizing regulated automotive safety applications, identifies potential risks across AI lifecycle stages, and presents illustrative risk management practices informed by literature review. Seven whole-system lifecycle risks are identified, including insufficient documentation and traceability, inadequate organizational governance, and process drift. Additional risks span AI and use case specification, model architecture and training, data management, verification and validation, and in-use monitoring. Risk management practices derive from standards including ISO 26262, ISO 21448, ISO 23894, and UN Regulations 155 and 156, complemented by research and policy frameworks.

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
