AI & Machine Learning in Certified Systems

AI is entering regulated engineering from two directions at once: as a productivity tool inside the lifecycle, and as airborne functionality that must itself be certified. Both raise the same question — what does this do to my evidence? We help teams adopt AI-assisted engineering where it genuinely helps (requirements analysis, traceability upkeep, review preparation, test generation) while keeping every certification claim traceable to a qualified, reviewable source, so the productivity is real and the audit trail survives it.

For machine-learning functions bound for the aircraft, we advise on certification readiness under the emerging guidance landscape — including SAE/EUROCAE work on AI assurance and the positions taken by certification authorities — with the same discipline we apply to DO-178C: understand what evidence will be asked for, plan for it early, and never claim more than the current guidance supports.
