Machine learning is going to be necessary for autonomy. Currently, we rely on a human to adapt to new situations, but that won’t be the case for an uncrewed vehicle. As machine learning is impossible to prove 100% correct, it is difficult to certify. Two workarounds have been suggested: wrapping machine learning in safe watchdog systems that will allow it to be guarded in a way to make it safe and safe learning work. Hear experts discuss their research into these approaches and migrating them through the processes necessary for approval and certification.

Forum 360: Exploring NASA Aeronautics Innovations for Transforming Aviation
NASA Aeronautics is committed to innovation throughout the research lifecycle from ideation to technology transition. There are a number of activities across the Aeronautics portfolio where innovation is proving to be a key component of successful implementation, including research initiatives, technology development, and how we work with our partners. Join NASA project leadership and subject-matter experts from across the Aeronautics portfolio as they discuss how they are currently embracing innovation as part of their management philosophy and adopting these tenets into their management decision making.
Mindfulness in the Workplace
Every day our minds are at work—creating new things, organizing, feeling, assessing, and thinking. Although not technically a muscle, the brain functions like one in the sense that it can be trained to improve different cognitive functions. This session will provide insight into how we can train the brain to allow us to be more calm, productive, and happy!
BREACHED! in partnership with Booz Allen Hamilton
BREACHED! is an interactive and dynamic exercise where participants role-play executive-level positions in response to a cyberattack. The exercise scenario encourages participants to work together and choose next steps to best respond to the evolving information. BREACHED! participants will learn about enterprise-wide incident response at the executive level through a safe and controlled environment, to prepare and understand the key actions required during a cyberattack.
*Pre-Registration required. The registration link will be available on the virtual event platform after you’ve registered for the 2021 AIAA AVIATION Forum.
ASCEND Rewind @ AVIATION: FAA Commercial Space Transportation
AIAA’s newest event is building a fast-growing community that propels the global conversation about space commerce, exploration, and new discovery. Before ASCEND kicks off in November 2021, get a taste of the type of cross-cutting content that is part of this event. Join ASCEND Executive Producer, Rob Meyerson, for a special play-back of the 2020 session “FAA Commercial Space Transportation: Why Public Safety Enables An Off-World Future” featuring Wayne Monteith, the FAA’s Associate Administrator for Commercial Space Transportation who shared his views on safety, regulatory reform, and how they enable an off-world future.
