Episode 303

Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity touch a variety of fields. In fact, their malleability and wide-reaching applications allow them to influence disciplines in medicine, engineering, and mobility. SAE International, an organization for engineering professionals, recognizes this link, developing resources for members—in academia and commerce—to aid their advancements in the vehicular and aerospace arenas.

In this four-part series, Adrian Guan and Tim Weisenberger, both product managers at SAE International, chat about the evolution and future of AI and cybersecurity for mobility. Adrian, an expert in AI, digs into the distinct, highly emergent characteristics of artificial intelligence and how that factors into creating robust safety standards. Tim, an expert in cybersecurity, explains how cyber practices in mobility have matured in the last decade and why a risk-based, process-driven approach is so crucial in this area.

In this first episode, Adrian and Tim discuss their backgrounds and SAE International’s role in the market and mobility community. They also dive into the offerings SAE provides—books, standards, conference papers, and events—and how the organization acts as a partner and forum to bring industry experts together.
