Level of Automation and Autonomy
摘要
Understanding the distinction between automation and autonomy is crucial as these two levels of system control shape how AI approaches, risk assessments, and requirements are structured. Automated systems operate on predefined instructions, performing tasks within set boundaries, while autonomous systems dynamically adapt and learn, evolving with their environments. This chapter explores these differences, along with the standards, regulations, and safety considerations that govern both automated and autonomous systems across various applications.
