AI Engineering for Safety-Critical Control Systems: An Aerospace Perspective

This tutorial highlights the engineering aspects of developing AI-based control systems. It renders the whole systems engineering spectrum from safety assessment to requirements engineering, from design to implementation, from verification to deployment and further more certification and operation of the aerospace products that include control systems that utilize AI techniques. The position paper not only provides a examples of AI-based safety-critical control systems in aerospace, it also shares the opinions of the authors about the important techniques that are being developed or to be developed at each above mentioned activities of systems engineering.
