Are Robots Really Ready for Prime Time? Establishing Standards for AI

Are we blindly trusting robots to operate safely around us without proper standards?

Embodied Artificial Intelligence (EAI) systems, which integrate AI into physical entities like robots, require stringent standards to ensure safety, reliability, performance, and usability. Unlike Intelligent Electric Vehicles (IEVs), EAI systems frequently interact with humans, making usability a critical concern.

Drawing lessons from IEV standards, Shaoshan Liu suggests a comprehensive framework for EAI that includes component-level safety checks, system-level performance metrics, and scenario-specific evaluations. Additionally, the concept of swarm intelligence, where multiple EAI systems collaborate, demands a unique cooperation score to assess effectiveness.

As AI continues to evolve, how can we ensure these advanced systems are safe and efficient for everyday use?
