GE Aerospace has become a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s AI Safety Institute Consortium (AISIC), joining a group of 280 government and industry organizations that will recommend guidelines and policies on the use of artificial intelligence. Formed earlier this year, AISIC comprises AI developers, government, academia, and other organizations that are collectively hoping to promote the safe and responsible use of AI.
Over the past decade, GE Aerospace has more than doubled its investment in AI technology, the company said, making it one of the top patent holders of the technology in the industry. It uses AI in a range of applications from engine monitoring and part inspections to delivering insights to customers on predictive maintenance, fuel efficiency, and safety optimization.
Participation in the consortium is aligned with GE Aerospace’s governance practices around AI use, according to Paul Ardis, technology manager for AI and computer vision technologies for GE Aerospace's Research Center, who is leading GE Aerospace’s participation in the consortium. “In everything GE Aerospace does, it’s always safety first and our approach to new AI developments is no different. We have a robust AI board in place that already is thinking through and has established guiding principles around how we develop and deploy AI in the safest, most responsible ways.”
Ardis added that participation will enable the company to share its lessons learned and perspectives from its AI board. “In turn, we’re eager to learn from through the consortium how we can continuously improve our management of new AI developments and applications.”
