Introducion to Machine Safety

• The concepts of "tollerable risk" and "residual risk"
• Overview of the standard (Type A Standard)
• Key updates and changes compared to the previous edition (ISO 12100:2010) including: AI, cybersecurity, and remote control

• Principali novità e modifiche rispetto alla versione precedente (ISO 12100:2010), inclusi AI, cybersecurity e controllo remoto

Modern Behaviours and Hazards

• Risks associated to unexpected self-evolving behaviour of Artificial Intelligence (AI)
• Cybersecurity threats and data corruption as sources of hazardous events
• Uso improprio ragionevolmente prevedibile vs. uso illegale
• Reasonably foreseeable misuse vs illegal use

The Iterative Risk Assessment Process

• Risk assessment techniques and methodologies
• Human factors assessment methods (HRA – Human Reliability Analysis)
• The Hierarchy of risk reduction measures (Three-step method)

The Impact of AI on Machinery Safety

• Analysis of the specific risks introduced by AI (self-evolving behaviour, AI-human interaction)
• Examples of mitigation measures for AI-based systems
• Protection of control systems against cyberattacks (malware, unauthorized access)
• Defense strategies and vulnerability management
• Integration of cybersecurity in the risk assessment and risk reduction process
• Practice exercises and Discussion
