Balancing AI Innovation and Safety Assurance in Automotive Systems

Balancing AI Innovation and Safety Assurance in Automotive Systems

Hugues Bonnin, Senior Expert in Safety of Connected Services at AUMOVIO, offers a rare inside look at how one of the industry’s leading safety organisations is approaching the rise of AI. He breaks down whether AI is viewed within AUMOVIO as a safety enabler, a productivity accelerator, or an unavoidable risk, and how that perspective shapes governance, trust, and real‑world deployment.

Hugues also reveals where AI is already delivering genuine value across the automotive safety lifecycle, from accelerating critical processes to improving the precision and efficiency of safety‑related activities. You’ll gain a clear, practical understanding of where AI can make the biggest impact today and where its potential is still expanding.

Hugues will be presenting at Automotive Functional Safety Week 2026, and this interview provides an early preview of the strategies, lessons, and forward‑looking perspectives attendees can expect to take away from his session.
