AI in aviation: Safety and gender equality in focus!
Professor Zamira Daw presents her research on AI certification in aviation and the promotion of women in MINT subjects at the UNI Stuttgart.
AI in aviation: Safety and gender equality in focus!
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in aerospace is a topic that is becoming increasingly important. Professor Zamira Daw from the University of Stuttgart highlights her research on AI certification and integration into safety-critical systems in a current podcast episode. She emphasizes the importance of AI for medical devices and the aviation industry, explaining that a balance between innovation and safety is necessary. Daw shares her personal journey from Colombia to Germany and the USA, which gives her a broad perspective on the challenges and opportunities that AI brings.
In the podcast episode, Daw reports that the growing interest in AI also requires careful management of these technologies. She particularly addresses the gender imbalance in the MINT areas and advocates early training measures to attract young women to mathematics, computer science, natural sciences and technology.
Responsibility and standards in AI
Trading with AI technologies, as Daw highlights, requires great responsibility. The rapid development of these technologies offers many new opportunities, but it also brings with it challenges. Loud Fraunhofer IAIS AI systems are taking on increasingly complex tasks and acting autonomously, which underlines the need for technical standards and norms. These standards serve as orientation for users and consumers.
In a strategic cooperation between the BSI and Fraunhofer IAIS are developing testing procedures for the neutrality of AI systems. The aim is to establish an AI certification that sets high standards for product and process-related tests in Germany. Collaboration with various industries, from telecommunications and banking to chemicals and retail, is intended to ensure that industrial needs are taken into account.
Importance of STEM education
Promoting STEM skills plays a crucial role in modern society, where challenges such as climate change and technological developments must be overcome. The Federal Ministry of Education and Research supports various research projects to improve STEM education. These projects aim to research the conditions for teaching STEM skills and promote equal opportunities.
In spring 2022, among other things, 13 practice-oriented research projects were started that cover a variety of aspects and educational levels. Initiatives such as MINT-SDL21 and GeP research the role of MINT subjects and develop concepts for interdisciplinary teaching. The aim of all measures is to promote a digital and sustainable society and to make MINT education accessible to everyone.
