From a Blank Page: Writing the Rules for AI Safety with Jordan Punch
<p>Jordan Punch, Senior Functional Safety Engineer at Reynolds and Moore, joins Erik Reynolds to talk about what it takes to write a safety standard for AI from scratch. As a voting member of ISO SC42 JWG4, the working group developing ISO/IEC TS 22440, Jordan has spent the past two years helping shape the first international standard for AI functional safety.</p><p>They cover the committee draft process and the roughly 1,700 comments national bodies returned, each of which has to be answered before publication. They get into the difference between a technical report, a technical specification, and a full international standard, and what each means for certification.</p><p>The conversation also gets into the publication timeline, why it could slip from early 2027 into later that year, and the one thing Jordan wants engineers and safety managers to take away as 22440 moves toward release.</p><p>Want to understand ISO/IEC TS 22440 in more depth?

The Safety Functions That Don’t Exist Yet with Dr. Ricard Picas Prat
<p>In this episode, Erik Reynolds talks with Dr. Ricard Picas Prat, Advanced Solution Engineer at Novanta Inc., about functional safety for dynamically stable robots. Ricard brings a background spanning academic research, hardware engineering, and years of leading SIL 3 and PL E functional safety certifications at what is now Novanta's servo drives division.</p><p>They cover how classical safety functions like safe torque off and safe brake control work, and why those approaches fall apart for humanoids and quadrupeds. When a dynamically stable robot loses power, it doesn't stop safely. It falls.</p><p>The conversation also gets into the challenge of writing a standard for technology that is still being invented. Ricard is doing that work firsthand as an active contributor to ISO TC 299 Working Group 12, while simultaneously building products for the market those standards will eventually govern.</p><p><br></p><p>More on Novanta Inc: <a href="https://novanta.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">www.novanta.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>Check out our work: <a href="http://www.reynolds-moore.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">www.reynolds-moore.com</a></p>
