Validation of Autonomous Systems

Society today depends on autonomous systems, such as intelligent service systems, self-driving trains, and remote surgeries.1 The ultimate validation of the Turing test is that we often do not recognize autonomous systems. This growing usage poses many challenges, such as how to provide transparency, which rules or learning patterns are applied in a complex situation, and if these rules are the right ones. Validation is the key challenge, of which we will provide an overview in this article.
