We are honored to host Dr. Reinhard Stolle for his talk, “Engineering Safe Systems with AI”, on June 5 at 15:45 in Room U32.101, Universitätsstraße 32. Students, staff, and all interested guests are warmly invited to attend.
In this talk, Dr. Stolle will outline two perspectives on safety engineering for AI-enabled systems—a safety-centric view and an AI-centric view—and then present his team's approach of combining the best of these two worlds to build systems that use the functional power of today's spectacular AI innovations without sacrificing safety goals. In particular, Dr. Stolle will introduce the model of “continuous safety engineering for high-risk AI systems,” which explicitly models uncertainties and confidences and propagates these during design time and operation time.
About the speaker:
Dr. Reinhard Stolle has been Deputy Director of the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems IKS since June 2024, having joined in December 2023 as Head of the Mobility Business Unit. He studied computer science at FAU Erlangen and the University of Colorado at Boulder, where he earned his master’s and Ph.D. in AI, followed by postdoctoral work at Stanford. His career includes AI research at Xerox PARC, 14 years at BMW in software and autonomous driving, and leadership roles at AID (VW Group) and Argo AI, focusing on Level 4 autonomous vehicles.
