March 25, 2026 | 3:00 – 4:00 PM
Artificial intelligence is increasingly taking on safety-critical functions in industrial systems. For component developers, this means that beyond performance and functionality, safety, traceability, and regulatory requirements must be considered from the outset.
In the TecTalk Expert Roundtable, our experts will discuss practical insights into which standards establish the framework for trustworthy AI and which processes are critical across the entire lifecycle—from development through operational monitoring.
