Don Winiecki has been named a voting member on the IEEE Autonomous Systems Validation Working Group.
This working group is charged with producing a model process for guiding the design of autonomous computer systems (artificial intelligence and machine learning systems; for example, self-driving cars, unpiloted aircraft, autonomous robotic systems, etc.) to ensure they operate in a way that is “transparent” and thus understandable, verifiable and trustworthy to a wide range of stakeholders.
The transparency of operational characteristics of autonomous computing systems is an essential component in ensuring that supported devices perform in a manner that is consistent with legal and ethical principles, auditable and always controllable by human designers and users.
IEEE is the world’s largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology.
