[SystemSafety] ISO/IEC DTR 5469 out for review

[Peter Bernard Ladkin]

The ISO/IEC tech report on AI and functional safety has been distributed for review. People not 
plugged in to their national committees (NC) might like to contact someone who is, to get a copy and 
comment on it to their NC. Comment period runs through August.

People might recall my preprint of April 2021 in which I argued that the 5469 authors had got the 
wrong end of the stick.

I don't remember whether I also conveyed this:
* A Cambridge group around Ross Anderson has shown that you can get behaviourally different DLNNs 
from the same training data, by reordering the training data;
* A team of researchers from Google (including various academic wise owls) have shown than most 
DLNNs (or all of them; I don't know) are highly underspecified. That is obviously consist with the 
Cambridge results.

Senior people in AI think it quite possible, on the basis of these and other results, that deep 
learning "does not work". It was suggested to me that reinforcement learning shows more promise.
