As robots powered by generative AI become more widespread, Safeworld has launched a new initiative to alleviate public anxiety regarding robot safety and earn societal trust. In the implementation of robots where AI makes autonomous decisions, technical reliability remains the single biggest challenge.
Safeworld is building a verification process designed to identify safety risks that arise when robots operate autonomously using generative AI, and to reduce those risks to socially acceptable standards. Through this, the company aims to provide a framework that brings transparency to the AI's decision-making process and objectively guarantees safety in physical environments.
While the movement to apply generative AI to physical robots is accelerating, concerns that the unpredictable behavior of AI could cause physical harm to humans have become a barrier to on-site deployment. Safeworld focuses on bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and peace of mind by integrating evaluation metrics for robotics and AI safety.
Moving forward, Safeworld will promote demonstration tests to realize the safe operation of robots in real-world society. Furthermore, through collaboration with relevant organizations, the company plans to lead the formulation of international guidelines and standardization for autonomous robots equipped with generative AI.
