For AI, there may be more sizzle that steak.  I found this a good read

Subject: [PSES] Friday question: AI-assisted software development for Safety 
Function?

 

All, 

 

Some predict that by 2028, 75% of enterprise software engineers will use 
AI-coding assistants, up from less than 10% in early 2023.  By 2025, estimates 
are that 80% of the software development life cycle will involve generative AI 
code generation, potentially enhancing developer productivity by up to 75% in 
some cases. As of 2024, 46% of developers are already using ChatGPT, while 30% 
rely on GitHub Copilot for some coding assistance. This shows that AI tools are 
already becoming commonplace in software development workflows. I also learned 
that AI-powered tools treat computer languages as natural languages, enabling 
faster and smoother coding with reduced friction. And this rapid trend is 
expected to accelerate in the coming years.

What I don't know is how this may include software development for embedded 
controllers and if anyone anywhere has yet succeeded in writing software that 
is UL 1998 compliant while using AI assistance.

As developers of programmable devices keep adding safety features to 
controllers, I really believe that if someone succeeds in a UL 1998-approved 
controller, it could very well rewrite how we do things in the future.

 

Any thoughts, any concerns?
