Keysight Technologies, Inc. introduced Keysight AI Software Integrity Builder, a new software solution designed to transform how AI-enabled systems are validated and maintained to ensure trustworthiness. As regulatory scrutiny increases and AI development becomes increasingly complex, the solution delivers transparent, adaptable, and data-driven AI assurance for safety-critical environments such as automotive. AI systems operate as complex, dynamic entities, yet their internal decision processes often remain opaque. This lack of transparency creates significant challenges for industries, such as automotive, that must demonstrate safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance. Developers struggle to diagnose dataset or model limitations, while emerging standards — such as ISO/PAS 8800 for automotive and EU AI Act — mandate explainability and validation without prescribing clear methods. Fragmented toolchains further complicate engineering workflows and heighten the risk of conformance gaps. Keysight AI Software Integrity Builder introduces a unified, lifecycle-based framework that answers the critical question: “What is happening inside the AI system, and how do I

 PDF SSI enables digital shipbuilding design, planning, and production. Key Takeaways Shipbuilders face challenges quite different from other manufacturing industries, requiring tools that capitalize on their unique experiences in both design and construction. AI concepts can be applied across all aspects of shipbuilding from design through maintenance and operations, but the challenge lies in building company-specific AI models that capture organizational knowledge and processes. SSI’s open architecture strategy recognizes that multiple AI models will exist within any shipbuilding organization. Rather than forcing a single model approach, SSI’s solutions can create and work with company-specific AI models while also leveraging other AI models across the enterprise. Secure, on-premises deployment options for sensitive planning data alongside cloud-based models for less critical applications are anticipated to alleviate concerns about protecting intellectual property. SSI’s shipbuilding solutions provide the foundational information required to drive AI effectively, integrating with other critical systems like ERP/MRP and production planning tools. SSI’s staged AI deployment roadmap delivers
