innotec Receives BSFZ Seal 2024 for AI-Supported Functional Safety
We are proud to share that innotec GmbH has been awarded the BSFZ Seal 2024 by the Bescheinigungsstelle Forschungszulage (BSFZ). This seal recognizes our innovative R&D project “Gefährdungsanalyse mit Hilfe eines AI-basierten Assistenten für die funktionale Sicherheit von Maschinen”, which studies the applicaiblity of AI techniques to support hazard analysis in safety-critical industrial systems.
The BSFZ Seal is awarded by the German certification body Bescheinigungsstelle Forschungszulage to recognize companies actively conducting eligible R&D under the national research allowance scheme.
Our ongoing research bridges AI and functional safety, as reflected in recent studies such as:
- Clever Hans in the Loop? – examining ChatGPT’s role in risk analysis.
- Evaluating LLM Prompting Strategies for Industrial Functional Safety Risk Assessment – assessing the role of LLMs in structured safety-critical contexts.
- On the Development and Application of a Structured Dataset for Data-Driven Risk Assessment in Industrial Functional Safety – introducing an open-source dataset aligning with ISO12100 to support AI evaluation for functional safety risk assessment.
