SGS-TÜV Saar has awarded the world’s first certification for artificial intelligence (AI) safety process compliance under the new ISO/PAS 8800:2024 to Geely Auto, confirming that Geely’s safety process architecture meets the latest standard for AI systems in road vehicles.
This certification sets a precedent for the secure, standardized integration of AI into autonomous driving technologies. As AI becomes increasingly central to advanced mobility, enhancing sensing capabilities, real-time decision-making and overall system intelligence, it also introduces critical safety challenges due to its complexity and unpredictability. Addressing these challenges requires structured assurance processes that are globally recognized.
Published in December 2024, ISO/PAS 8800 is the first global standard specifically developed to address AI safety in the automotive sector. It provides a framework for the development, deployment and continuous monitoring of AI systems to ensure operational safety.
The certification of Geely Auto followed an extensive independent audit process conducted by SGS-TÜV Saar. Multiple assessments were carried out throughout the project lifecycle, culminating in a final review that confirmed full compliance with ISO/PAS 8800.
