OVERVIEW
This is the first in a series of AIAA Artificial Intelligence short courses focusing on Responsible AI. These courses are tailored to equip aerospace professionals with the essential knowledge, skills, and analytical abilities to tackle the challenges of responsibly designing and deploying AI-integrated systems. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in aerospace, it presents significant opportunities for efficiency, cost reduction, and safety enhancement. However, recognizing and mitigating the associated risks is essential to ensure the safety, reliability, and ethical integrity of these technologies.
Participants in these courses will gain a solid foundation in AI fundamentals, learn how to architect AI systems, understand the principles of systems engineering as they apply to AI, understand and evaluate ethical and societal implications, and manage AI risk. Graduates will be well-prepared to develop and manage complex systems with embedded AI, including identifying unique requirements, testing, and certifying these systems, and maintaining safe performance levels. This is particularly crucial for safety-critical systems, such as self-flying vehicles and drone delivery, where rigorous testing, evaluation, monitoring, and maintenance is paramount.
This course provides a foundation for systems engineers to understand the implications of both building systems with Artificial Intelligence (SE for AI) and using Artificial Intelligence to enhance the systems engineering process (AI for SE). The course introduces the foundations of AI, including different types of machine learning, and the associated design, test, and evaluation challenges for AI systems. AI opportunities for transforming SE lifecycle activities are discussed along with applications of AI in modern systems.- Deepen understanding of AI Foundations and AI Intensive Systems: Develop a foundation in artificial intelligence principles, including various types of machine learning, and how they apply to aerospace systems.
- Define the Requirements and Risk for AI Systems: Applying strong systems engineering to specify and assess the implementation of AI in larger systems.
- Explore the Challenges of Fielding AI Systems: Using systems engineering to inform Ai Component Definition and Integration, Testing, Verification, and Validation
- Examine AI in Aerospace Opportunity: Survey the wide breadth and possibility space for AI systems in aerospace applications.
Professionals tasked with driving the safe and effective integration of AI within their organizations, who are eager to enhance their expertise in the design, testing, and deployment of cutting-edge AI-based aerospace technologies.
