About this event
Autonomous products are moving from research labs into the real world, and that shift raises a practical question: how do you evaluate safety in systems that make decisions on their own? This session focuses on UL 4600, a standard built to address the safety of autonomous products, and it offers a grounded way to understand what that means for teams building, testing, deploying, or assessing these systems. Whether you work directly on autonomy or you are trying to keep up with how safety expectations are evolving, this virtual meetup is designed to give you a clearer picture of the standard, the problems it is meant to solve, and the conversations happening around it. Expect a thoughtful, community-oriented discussion that connects technical work with real-world safety practice. About the
Who should attend
This is for people who want a more practical understanding of safety in autonomy and how **UL 4600** fits into real product and engineering work. - You build or work on **autonomous products or systems** and want a clearer view of how safety standards may affect design, validation, and deployment. - You are a **software, systems, robotics, or safety engineer** looking to better understand the language and structure behind safety arguments for autonomous behavior. - You work in **product, program, operations, quality, or technical leadership** and need to make informed decisions around risk, readiness, and trust in autonomous systems. - You are involved in **testing, assurance, compliance, or governance** and want a stronger grasp of how UL 4600 relates to evaluating safety claims. - You are part of the broader **autonomy community** and want a focused discussion that goes beyond hype into the real challenges of safe deployment. - You are curious about the standard but do not yet consider yourself an expert; if you want to learn in a setting that is serious, accessible, and community-driven, you will likely feel at home here.
